Van Gogh and Britain by Carol Jacobi

These are secondhand copies of 'Van Gogh and Britain: The EY Exhibition' by Carol Jacobi, the companion book to the landmark exhibition at Tate Britain exploring the impact of British culture on Vincent Van Gogh and his lasting legacy on British art.

The publication explores the wider significance of the British artists that affected him and which he in turn inspired, tracing the story from the artist's obscure years in England in the 1870s through to his iconic status from the 1950s onward.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is considered one of the most influential post-impressionist artists in the history of Western art. During his short yet prolific career he routinely chose to paint from nature, developing a highly personal use of colour and brushwork directly expressing an emotional response to his subject and his inner world.

Carol Jacobi is Curator, British Art, 1850–1915 at Tate Britain.
