Vincent's Gardens: Paintings and Drawings by Van Gogh


Description

This glorious gift book presents Van Goghs lifelong love affair with the garden. Illustrated with an extraordinary range of works, from iconic oils such as Irises to exquisite etchings and intimate sketches, the book is a visual feast. The images are illuminated by a sensitive commentary, which augments the well-known facts of Van Goghs life by exploring the importance of the garden locations he sought out wherever he went.

By turns lyrical and philosophical, witty and baffling, "A School for Fools" confounds all expectations of the novel. Here Vincent's Gardens: Paintings and Drawings by Van Gogh download PDF we find not one reliable narrator but two unreliable narrators: the young man who is a student at the school for fools and his double. What begins as a reverie (with frequent interruptions) comes to seem a sort of fairy-tale quest not for gold or marriage but for self-knowledge. The currents of consciousness running through the novel are passionate and profound. Memories of childhood summers at the dacha are contemporaneous with the present, the dead are alive, and the beloved is present in the wind. Here is a tale either of madness or of the life of the imagination in conversation with reason, straining at the limits of language; in the words of Vladimir Nabokov, an enchanting, tragic, and touching book.
