Summary:
Six original essays by leading art historians discuss the key aspects of van Gogh's portraits at different stages of his career. George Keyes begins by setting the paintings in the context of Dutch art, demonstrating the formative influence of masters such as Rembrandt and Frans Hals. Lauren Soth discusses the stark but carefully finished drawings made by van Gogh during his early years in The Hague. George Shackelford examines the pictures made during van Gogh's stay in Paris, his first works to show the influence of the Impressionists and of contemporaries such as Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec.
