Van Gogh and the End of Nature
Nov. 14th, 2025 11:02 amVan Gogh and the End of Nature, Michael Lobel, 2024 art history/art criticism nonfiction. I don't read a lot of nonfiction - I don't even have a tag for it - but I had recently been to a show of the Roulin portraits at the MFA, and I had seen some of his stuff in Paris, and I heard about this book and thought it sounded interesting. And it was! I got to see lots of images of Van Gogh works I had never seen before and learn more about his historical/technological context and consider the relationship of industry and nature in his art in a whole new way. Good stuff. Possibly I should read more nonfiction.
