Vincent Van Gogh
	Author: Adrian Campbell Classification: Art Sorry this book is Out Of Print	Brief Description: Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (born 1853), one of the pioneers of Expressionism, led a troubled life increasingly plagued by mental disturbance and resulting in his suicide in 1890. Although now a world-renowned artist for masterpieces such as ‘The Potato Eaters’ (1885), ‘Sunflowers’ (1888), ‘The Bridge’ (1888) and his last work ‘Cornfields with Flight of Birds’ (1890), in his short lifetime tragically he was unable to sell his work or feel successful as an artist. After studying in Paris (1886-88), where he developed his own brushwork style and was influenced by the Impressionists’ colour sense, he moved to Arles, taking inspiration for his paintings from the rich Provençal landscape. This poem, illustrated with and inspired by van Gogh’s paintings, particularly those created at Arles, pays tribute to his genius and reflects upon his tragic life, highlighting the injustice that during his lifetime he neither received the recognition nor the financial benefits he deserved, rewards now reaped by the owners of his works.

Special Note: This is a numbered, limited edition of 250 copies.

ADRIAN'S LABOUR OF LOVE
Artist Adrian Campbell has self-published a book featuring the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh together with his poem about his life and some of his paintings.
Adrian is himself a colourist and has always admired the work of van Gogh.
"I've wanted to publish this poem for a long time, together with some of van Gogh's work, but came up against a lot of obstacles," said Adrian.
"Now the book is finally here I am delighted and hope people will take the time to read the poem and enjoy some of the paintings featured."
Adrian trained as an art teacher and has taught for many years, all ages, except infants.
He is a member of the Taunton Fire River Poets, Artists A303 and the Somerset Society of Artists. He lives at Littlefields Studio in Bishopswood, near Chard with his potter and printmaker wife Irene. Their studios will be open during Somerset Art Weeks where they will be showing their work alongside artist Louise Cottey.

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch Painter born in 1853, and was one of the pioneers of Expressionism. He also led a very troubled life having lots of mental disturbances, so much so that in 1890 he committed suicide.
Read this lovely poem, which also features many of his famous paintings.
This book wins 8 pizza slices.
