Product Description
From the Author
This compilation of Van Gogh's art been more than six years in the making. It's a complete, electronic catalogue raisonné of the works of one of the most popular artists of the last 150 years. Van Gogh took his own life at age 37 after creating some of the most brilliant paintings the world has seen. The painter remains a fascinating and elusive figure to anyone who appreciates his art. My standalone CD-ROM catalogue offers an indispensable learning opportunity for art historians and the general public alike.
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh worked as a teacher, minister and art dealer before he settled on painting at age 27. At about the same time, he discovered the work of the French Impressionists, and the tone of his work shifted from dark and brooding to the swirling, vibrant still lifes and landscapes with which we are familiar today.
Unlike the last *complete* catalogue raisonné of Van Gogh's work from 1970, my catalogue is not only 32 years more up-to-date, but also 95% of the paintings are in colour. For the last complete 1970 catalogue, 95% of the images were in black and white. In addition to having much more accurate and current exhibition and provenance, this catalogue includes some images which have never before been published in colour
This CD-ROM is the *first* complete electronic catalogue raisonné of any artist. I hope you enjoy it!

One great Art Resource,
By Al Hunt (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works (CD-ROM)
This is a truly superb CD-Rom! I've used this information as a teaching resource and to help my own understanding of Van Gogh. I must admit I've never really seen a better collection of letters and drawings that span the entire life and work of Van Gogh in my life.I've tried finding the same information in text books but it is just not the same. And the information is not as complete as can be found in this CD-Rom. I highly recommend this Cd-Rom for anyone interested in Vincent Van Gogh. Kudos to David Brooks!

A superbly produced and presented CD-ROM database,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works (CD-ROM)
David Brooks' Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works is a superbly produced and presented CD-ROM database featuring high quality images of every single piece of Vincent van Gogh's surviving artwork, man reproduced in color and available to the general public for the first time. Also included is a detailed biography of Van Gogh as well as a chronological timeline for the major events in his life. The text information is available in English, Spanish, Dutch, and Italian. Brooks takes full advantage of all the interactive capabilities of CD-ROM technology to provide a complete "user friendly" interface. The result is the most advanced and interactive catalogue, commentary, and database (2200 primary records) ever published, thereby making Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works an essential acquisition for any personal, professional, academic, or community library art history reference collection.

Bravo David Brooks - The Complete Works is Incredible,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works (CD-ROM)
Outstanding! At first I thought a CDRom would lack the warmth of a book. This CDRom is on fire. What an achievement and what a treasure.

The definitive database for admirers of Van Gogh.,
By Mr Andrew G. Forrest - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Works (CD-ROM)
Whether for the newcomer, enthusiast or student, David Brooks's CD-ROM cannot be bettered as an accessible and stimulating resource. Many images - such as the Van Gogh Museum's version of 'Vincent's Bedroom in Arles' - are supported by informative commentary. Where possible, Brooks adds full details of ownership, display and the specific letters in which Van Gogh mentions the painting, drawing or sketch. It is a delight to witness rarely-seen works from private collections and others that previously one had only read about. Added bonuses are the very clear chronology and biography that David Brooks provides. This CD-ROM both broadens and deepens one's knowledge of The Master and is excellent value for money.
