Van Gogh’s love of flowers inspired him to create some of his most vivid and intense paintings. This beautiful, lavish illustrated book celebrates his passionate preoccupation with a colorful world of wild and cultivated flowers. Some of the most stunning of Van Gogh’s works are reproduced in full-page or double-page plates, and are richly complemented by a text which includes many extracts from the artist’s own moving and descriptive letters.
