The incarnation of the myth of a cursed artist; Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) is a legend who became a reference for modern art. An Expressionist during the Post-Impressionist movement; his art was misunderstood during his lifetime. In Holland; he partook in the Dutch realist painting movement by studying peasant characters. Anxious and depressed; Vincent van Gogh produced more than 2000 artworks; yet sold only one in his lifetime. A self-made artist; his work is known for its rough and emotional beauty and is amongst the most popular in the art market today.

This book is about Stanley Kubricks photographic work at Life ...By Frank RizzoThis book is about Stanley Kubricks photographic work at Life Magazine; but it is mostly text with just a handful of TINY photos. Huh ?!??3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Interesting and ComprehensiveBy MacDuffHistorian Mather provides an in-depth examination of Kubricks early days; which is enlightening for both the coverage of Kubrick; and the coverage of LOOK Magazine. Imagine what would have happened if Kubrick had apprenticed at a tabloid newspaper; instead of the relatively free-form and artistically liberal atmosphere of LOOK. Mathers writing is accessible; even for non-historians.
