"A wrestling with the line was a central feature of the artist's career, and Christopher Lloyd's The Drawings of Vincent van Gogh traces this struggle and triumph. Lloyd's work makes clear that Van Gogh's liberated line is just as essential as his exhilarating color, and the selection of works reproduced provides exciting insight into the artist's development.-- ""The New Criterion"" A distinguished art historian gathers work from van Gogh's sketchbooks, letters and comparative artworks in this survey of drawings by an artist who viewed the medium as 'the root of everything.'-- ""The New York Times Book Review"" (12/3/2023 12:00:00 AM)"
