The Unseen Van Gogh
by Richard Mühlberger
Category: Impressionism (Art)

The Unseen Van Gogh is a journey of discovery straight into the artist's most famous -- and some little-known -- masterpieces. Enlargements of key details, presented alongside the full canvases, invite the viewer to step into van Gogh's paintings for an intimate look at his world and his method of work. The complex genius of his work is all the more evident up close: the branches of a tree, a figure in a landscape, or the halo of light around a lantern become beautifully abstract. The details stand alone as works of art unto themselves, and in so doing reveal the transcendent completeness of the larger work.
