Van Gogh in Auvers His Last Days

The painter moved to Auvers-sur-Oise, an artistic enclave outside of Paris, in 1890 at the urging of Dr. Gachet, whom he later immortalized on canvas. Leading a life sheltered from temptations, van Gogh entered an astoundingly creative period, producing paintings inspired by the surrounding landscape and town. This book reveals the complexity of van Gogh's personality through fascinating historical documents and stunning reproductions of his last paintings that allow the reader fully into his psyche and through the thoughts and events that led to his tragic early death.
