An illustrated study by two experts on van Gogh and follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his home parts, through the bright and colorful paintings he did in Paris, to the work of his final years under a southern sun in Arles, where he, at last, found the light that produced the unmistakable van Gogh style.
