Rather, his aims centred on earning a reasonable wage and living within the middle-class norms of his family. Van Gogh's hope was to become an illustrator of magazines and newspapers. From 1880 to 1885 van Gogh assembled a collection of over 2,000 black-and-white prints, predominately from English publications such as the Graphic and the Illustrated London News. These prints were produced in the thousands to accompany news stories or as stand-alone illustrations to be pinned up in the family home. Vincent Alessi reveals for the first time how van Gogh's collection acted for him as both inspiration and manual: a guide to the subject matter demanded by leading illustrated newspapers and magazines and a model of artistic style. These popular images are shown to have palpably shaped van Gogh's art throughout his career, and to open up rich new understandings of a life and body of work that continue to intrigue and inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925495737\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.25 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 0.75 Pounds, Width: 0.5 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chris Uhlenbeck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51868187296051,"sku":"9781925495737","price":49.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/2219823482366.jpg?v=1754312097","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/japanese-prints","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
