梵谷認為素描是藝術的根源，這一觀念反映在他在短暫而戲劇性的一生之中所創作的1,000多幅素描作品中，其中許多是對新興現代世界的個人的、常常是孤獨的探索，這些焦慮至今仍然對我們有所啟示。
本書是一部全面性的著作，禮讚這位藝術家在素描領域的成就與獨特性，內容按主題排列，從描繪謙遜的農民到精美的風景描繪，從深思的人生研究到著名的「阿爾勒黃房子」(Yellow House in Arles)及其他地方的難忘素描。本書作者Christopher Lloyd以一種新的視角探索梵谷的素描作品，記錄這位藝術家的成功、失敗、嘗試、以及挫敗。梵谷主要是靠自學成材，他本能地接觸素描，但很快就認識到掌握藝術的語法─解剖學、造型、透視─以及媒材與技巧的重要性，以便盡可能生動地傳達他對一個個主題的情感反應……
Vincent van Gogh believed that drawing was the ‘root of everything’. This was reflected in the remarkable number of more than a thousand graphic works produced by the artist during his short, dramatic life – many of them personal, often lonely explorations of the emerging modern world, anxieties that still speak to us today.
The Drawings of Vincent van Gogh is a comprehensive account celebrating the genius and singularity of the artist’s achievements in this field. Arranged by theme – from drawings of humble harvesters to beautifully rendered depictions of landscape, pensive life studies to memorable sketches of the famous Yellow House in Arles and other places – Van Gogh’s works on paper are explored from a fresh perspective by art historian Christopher Lloyd, who records the artist’s successes, failures, experiments, trials and disappointments. Primarily self-taught, Van Gogh approached drawing instinctually, but soon recognized the importance of mastering the grammar of art – anatomy, modelling, foreshortening, perspective – as well as materials and techniques, in order to convey his emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible. Using examples from the artist’s voluminous and highly charged family correspondence, sketchbooks, as well as comparative artworks by Rembrandt, Dürer and others, the resulting overview gives us a greater understanding of why drawing is so important within Van Gogh’s unique oeuvre and equals the intensity and reputation of his paintings.
