The Delphi Classics collection of Van Gogh not only has all of his paintings in color (on 's Kindle apps for the iPad, PC or tablets), but virtually the entire 'Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh', all for the amazing price of $2.99. If you have the boxed 3-volume set of the 'Complete Letters...' you will notice that the Kindle edition does not include the drawings and some of the extra letters and supplemental commentary, but the Delphi Classics edition organizes the letters to his other acquaintances in chronological order within his letters to his brother Theo, something the hardcover edition doesn't do (the other letters are in their own sections at the end). The file is quite large (due to the paintings), so be prepared for a longer download time (even with WiFi). I have since purchased other Delphi Classics collections and look forward to the same quality product.
I can't begin to thank Delphi enough for all of the products they put out. This new Masters of Art series is yet another feather in their cap as they continue to provide unbelievable collections for eBook readers. Here you can see all of Van Gogh's paintings, as well as read a biography on Vincent, see highlights with background information on his most famous works. Perhaps the best part of this is his collection of letters, which I love to read, a little at a time. While I can only see his paintings in B/W on my Kindle (non-Fire), I love to open the book on my browser, where I can see them in color.Seriously, for this price, why are you even looking at reviews? But it.
I am uncertain whether this is truly the complete works of VvG; if not, it must certainly come close. It is a quick reference for looking at / for looking up images of VvG's paintings etc. If you are looking up some detail to cross reference with another work you might find it quickly here but only after you have learned to find your way around this "book". — You might also get pleasure from it if you are stuck in a long check-out counter queue or waiting for a dryer to finish up. That said, you will probably be disappointed at quite so many small images, most of which are adequate. A few images are a true thumbs down.Still I love having it all in hand.
So grateful for this wonderful resource! I have quite a collection of books on Van Gogh and his art, but this contains some works I had not seen. I view this on the Kindle app for ipad and both the resolution and the color rendering are very good, better than most books. I appreciate their detail images, which allow close study of brush marks. I hope Delphi sells tons of ebooks from this series, both so they add new artists, and so they show the greedy publishers who charge $10-15 for ebooks (no paper, ink, printing or shipping) just how appreciative the buying public is of excellent quality affordable ebooks! I sure am, and plan on buying many more in this series!
What an inspiration and pleasure is to view the pictures of this supreme master in canvas.It takes you onto the world of fantasy. Yet it's so hard to believe that he never sold one of his paintings and now if you had just one you'd be rich.
A truly amazing value for the volume for what you get. All of his paintings, the letters, and the biography written by Vincent's sister-in-law. Wonderful!
a STEAL ... beautiful pictures with blown up details plus a written biography
I was hoping that this would include his sketchings so I was disappointed when they did not. I actually like his sketchings better than his paintings.
