The Van Gogh volume of Seigensha’s long-selling line of postcard books returns in a new edition.
From Sunflowers to Almond Blossom to The Starry Night, this updated edition newly selects thirty-two of the masterpieces wrought by Van Gogh over the thirty-seven years of an all-too-brief life ruled by passion and pain. In the words of the preface by art historian Kodera Tsukasa, “I cannot but say that if Van Gogh possessed anything that might be called a gift, it was most certainly not an aptitude for art, but rather a prodigious vitality that made it possible for him to withstand life’s torments and throw his entire energies into the sole path left before him.”
