Vincent Van Gogh: The Path of Light
Share
The enormous popularity of van Gogh leaves an intriguing question unresolved - his place in the history of modern art (as opposed to the tragedy of his life). Van Gogh, like Cezanne, was one of the essential pioneers of modern painting. He gave it an entirely new message, a mission even - to express feeling. Once painting had become his most powerful means of self-expression, of simply being, van Gogh invested in it all of his energies, all of his life. His was the famous suicide discussed by Artaud: a suicide from his painting, not from society.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
