Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, for the Clark Art Institute, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 256pp., 187 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: The celebrated painter Vincent van Gogh had a lifelong fascination with the natural world. He spent his youth in rural Holland, and the country’s fl at landscapes, trees, flowers and birds would feature in his early art. After he moved to Paris, he encountered new radical thinking about art and humans’ changing relationship with nature. Later, in Provence and Auvers, he discovered unfamiliar terrain, fl ora, and fauna that further infl uenced his artistic ideas and subject matter. Van Gogh’s images of such diverse environments refl ect not only his immediate surroundings but also the artist’s evolving engagement with nature and art. Van Gogh and Nature is an eye-opening new catalogue that chronicles the artist’s ongoing relationship with nature throughout his entire career. Among the featured works are Van Gogh’s drawings and paintings, along with related materials that illuminate his reading, sources and influences. Vivid colour photography and explanatory texts based on new research by the authors clarify a central theme of Van Gogh’s oeuvre.
