Book synopsis

Inspiring Artists tells us what it is that makes some famous artists so important and memorable, not only in terms of their artistic legacy, but also as to their impact on the wider world. It explores their life and times through significant pieces of their art, looking at the work in terms of its context, from conflict (Goya), to festivities (Bruegel) to personal struggle (Van Gogh). Each work is also considered in terms of its style, technique and artistic innovation. Inspiring Artists: Vincent Van Gogh looks at the works of the brilliant, but tortured, Van Gogh. It analyses his chief inspirations, artistic techniques and motifs, as well as studying three of his most famous works - The Potato Eaters, Sunflowers and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear - in greater depth. His relationships with fellow artists such as Paul Gauguin are explored, while his huge impact on painters right up to the current day is assessed throughout.
