Description: London: Thames & Hudson, 2013. 24cm., hardcover, 112pp., 75 plates, most in color. Summary : Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) felt a profound empathy with the natural environment, and considered the spiritual essence of trees to be comparable with that of human figures. Vincent’s Trees traces Van Gogh’s development as a painter of the arboral landscape – from his home province of North Brabant in Holland, through Paris to Provence. Ralph Skea’s elegant prose is accompanied by Van Gogh’s vibrant illustrations of trees, which range from pencil and ink sketches to watercolours and oils. Stylistic experiments encompassing Pointillism and compositions inspired by Japanese prints give way to the expressive, painterly depictions of his later work. The book’s pages are interspersed with quotes from Van Gogh’s letters, which convey the depth of his feeling for the natural landscape, and the force with which it affected him. This attractive gift book will appeal both to lovers of nature and lovers of Van Gogh’s paintings alike.
