Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This bilingual haiku collection introduces haikus featuring the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (March 30, 1853-July 29,1890). Van Gogh was born in Zundert, southern Netherlands, where his father was a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church. After a stint at the art dealer Goupil & Cie, run by Uncle Cent (as Vincent van Gogh II was referred to), in The Hague, London, and Paris, as a substitute teacher in London, and as an acting missionary in Belgium, van Gogh tried to become a painter and studied art.Then in 1886, in order to study painting in earnest, van Gogh moved to Paris, where his younger brother Theodorus van Gogh (Theo, May 1, 1857-January 25, 1891) was an art dealer at Goupil & Cie. There, he met a plethora of prominent Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters and eagerly absorbed their techniques.After trials and tribulations for two years, van Gogh established his own hatching style, which was marked by a curvy, parallel brushstroke and vivid colors. Finally in 1888, he moved to Arles in southern France, which he considered the "Japan of Europe.">* * *This haiku anthology traces the extraordinary life of van Gogh along with his impressive art works, and with haikus as a homage. Specifically, this collection presents 54 selected works van Gogh made in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and 54 corresponding haikus newly written by this author, with appropriate season words per the Japanese calendar with annotations.
