Los años de convivencia de Francisco Egaña con el protagonista de este libro, Joaquín Vaquero Palacios, hacen de él un privilegiado conocedor de su obra. En su penetrante análisis sobre la paisajística de este importante creador asturiano, su autor deja constancia no solo de su conocimiento del archivo de Vaquero, aportando datos ineditos o poco conocidos, sino de la personalidad artistica y humana de Vaquero Palacios. Partiendo del testimonio del propio artista y dialogando con los criticos e historiadores del arte que se han ocupado de su pintura, Francisco Egaña reconstruye el ideario estetico y paisajistico de Vaquero para abordar su obra no solo desde la pintura, sino desde el interior de su proceso creador. El hecho de que el ultimo estudio monografico dedicado a la obra pictorica de Vaquero, debido al celebre critico de arte Vicente Aguilera Cerni, datara de 1980 hacia necesaria esta publicacion. Porque este estudio es el primero que considera la trayectoria pictorica completa de Vaquero Palacios, analizando tambien el intenso trabajo desarrollado con pasion a largo de la ultima decada de su vida. Un libro, por lo demas, cuya publicacion coincide con el decimo aniversario de la desaparicion de este artista asturiano que consagro una existencia casi centenaria a la creacion en todos los campos posibles.Egaña Casriego, Francisco

VAN GOGH S SUNFLOWERS IN-A-BOX

An original interpretation of the final years of Van Goghs career, exploring the people and places in his late paintings The years prior to Van Goghs death in 1890 were pivotal to the painters brief artistic career. He was working in the South of France and intent on creating new work which would advance his career. Van Gogh set about developing compositions that were informed by the natural world surrounding him, by the poets and lovers he encountered in literature, and by the individual models he was depicting.The process of his imaginative transformations has never been explored, and this will provide the opportunity to present significant new insights into the much-loved painters life. The catalogue features an incredible range of ambitious canvases and important works on paper. It presents new research on themes including the artists innovative approach to exhibiting his work and the varied literary sources that inspired his characters and compositions.These topics are rarely written about in relation to this well-known artist and are bound to expand both scholarly and public interpretations of Van Goghs remarkable oeuvre.
