Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings (Klotz)
by Taschen (Paperback)

The complete van Gogh Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history.

This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) represents a rarity in art history: a detailed monograph on his life and art combined with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings. This volume also reproduces most of van Gogh's paintings in color for the first time.
