Vincent Van Gogh Cards

Vincent van Gogh's paintings are dreamlike, troubled - and brilliant! From the vibrant series of Sunflowers and Flowering Orchards, to the brooding self-portraits, the luminous Starry Night and the final bleak Wheat Fields. This collectors' pack celebrates a genius who sacrificed his mind for his art.

Vincent van Gogh’s ten-year painting career yielded more than 2,000 paintings and drawings but little recognition from the art world. Lamenting this indifference, he wrote to his brother Theo, “One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.” While he may have felt isolated in his time, the world now knows van Gogh as one of the most impassioned and appreciated figures in the history of Western art. His life in France, despite an upbringing of means, was lived mostly in poverty, and the last decade was spent feverishly painting, fuelled by his staples of coffee, cigarettes and bread.
