Van Gogh focused on drawing at the beginning of his career but even when his attention turned more towards painting drawing remained a passion. As well as many preliminary studies, his drawings include highly ambitious, stand-alone works that testify to his capacity for innovation.

While living in Arles in 1888 he created some extraordinary drawings of the Provençal landscape in reed pen, while later, at Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise, he experimented with rhythm and colour, examples of which are beautifully reproduced here. The book also features a number of paintings in which motifs appear relating to the drawings.
