In this catalog of a traveling exhibition of Van Gogh's portraits, the essays try to illuminate the painter's oeuvre via two of the most traditional--one is tempted to say exhausted--art historical methods: enumeration of sources and biographical interpretation. The essays by George Keyes and George Shackleford on the Dutch and Parisian periods are essentially laundry lists of the artist's sources among old-master and contemporary painters. (These authors' strategy is inverted in the catalogue's final essay, in an entirely predictable rumination on the "legacy" of Van Gogh's portraits by Joseph Rishel.) Roland Dorn's essay on the Arles period is considerably more substantial. One welcomes Dorn's determination to read Van Gogh's work against the grain of the popular conceptions of the "mad genius," although his insistence on the intellectual rigor of the paintings at times leads to convoluted and strained interpretations--e.g., his attempt to make the five portraits of the Roulin family cohere around an essentially nonexistent pattern of complimentary colors. The same critique could be made of the longest and most original essay--that on the St. Remy and Auvers periods by Judy Sund, who constructs elaborate but rather simplistic psycho-biographical interpretations of individual paintings, more ingenious than convincing. A solid, if utterly conventional, introduction. General readers; undergraduates and up. A. C. Shelton; Ohio State University

A new turn in a well-worn path, this catalog accompanies an exhibit of portraits painted by Van Gogh and currently traveling to the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The text consists of a series of individual essays by leading art historians exploring various factors contributing to this astonishing body of work. These factors include the significant early influence of Dutch painters, particularly Rembrandt and Frans Hals; the teachings of Anton Mauve, leader of the Hague School; and Van Gogh's admiration of Millet and the Barbizon school. The artist's years in Paris, in the south of France, and with Gauguin at the height of his powers and his working methods, relationships, intensity, and illness are all discussed as they relate to the development of his portraiture. Finally, his influence on artists of succeeding generations is highlighted. The essays are accessible to the interested lay reader but deep enough for the scholar, and the more than 200 color illustrations will attract many browsers. Recommended for public, school, and special art book collections.DEllen Bates, New York (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
