Van Gogh: Into the Undergrowth

A breath-taking masterpiece Cincinnati Art Museum's Undergrowth with Two Figures, is one of the twelve ambitious panoramic landscapes Vincent van Gogh created during the last, highly productive, weeks of his life in the summer of 1890, whilst staying at Auvers, just north of Paris. It has recently been restored and now provides the focus and the springboard for this book. Nine works by Van Gogh and a further fourteen by his contemporaries, including Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Paul Cezanne, reveal how all of these artists attempted to capture the subtle and transient effects of light on foliage and the feeling of walking under the forest canopy, the "sous-bois".

This beautiful book should satisfy those who appreciate the work of van Gogh and the sous-bois genre--Maine Antique Digest
