GEO Epoche Edition / GEO Epoche Edition 15/2017 - Van Gogh und seine Zeit

The GEO Epoche Edition dedicates this issue to the artistic era of the late 19th century and its greatest painter: Vincent van Gogh. His extraordinary life is marked by suffering, madness, and genius – yet the painter continues to inspire and fascinate to this day. He only arrives at his now-characteristic style late in life and completes numerous masterful works in a creative frenzy. Van Gogh aims to bring to the canvas what he feels – thus becoming a crucial pioneer of modernity. This issue traces both his life and artistic development, as well as the lives of his contemporaries during the spirit of change in Paris at the end of the 19th century.
