Vincent van Gogh (18531890) believed that drawing was the root of everything. A self-taught artist, he succeeded, between 1881 and 1890, in developing an inimitable graphic style. This book traces the artists successive triumphs as a draftsman, first in the Netherlands and later in France, highlighting the diversity of his technical invention and the striking continuity of his vision. Given the pivotal role drawings played in Van Goghs artistic conception and the rich dialectic they enjoyed with his oil paintings, a small selection of related canvases by the artist is also featured.
