Given the pivotal role drawings played in Van Gogh's artistic conception and the rich dialectic they enjoyed with his oil paintings, a small selection of related canvases by the artist is also featured.;This beautiful book presents approximately 120 works in charcoal, ink, graphite, watercolour and gouache.
