","webDescription":"","webKeywords":"","webLongDescription":"\u003cp\u003eVincent van Gogh (1853-90) became, in the century following his death, an individual of undisputed universal acclaim. His brief but astoundingly eventful life has inspired the scrutiny of other painters, film-makers, psychologists and novelists, and his personal celebrity outstrips even the substantial fame of his works. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the popular appeal of such pictures as \u003ci\u003eSunflowers \u003c/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003eStarry \u003c/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNight\u003c/i\u003e resides in their seemingly emotion-fuelled spontaneity, they are in fact the products of a reflective and idea-driven man who was profoundly interested in and inspired by all manner of literary, musical and artistic sources. Spanning his early work in the Netherlands, the formative years in and around Paris, and the intense, vibrant studies of peasants and the countryside of the South of France, this survey makes extensive use of Van Gogh's own correspondence to illuminate his artistic development and the personal vision that lies behind his work. The result is a balanced and sensitive account of this most innovative and influential of artists. \u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003e On the \u003cem\u003eArt \u0026amp; Ideas\u003c/em\u003e series\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;\u003cem\u003eArt \u0026amp; Ideas\u003c/em\u003e has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art.
