The complete van Gogh Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history.

Van Gogh, who took up a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man. This richly illustrated and expert study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his homeland, through his bright and colorful Parisian period, to the work of his final years, spent under a southern sun in Arles.

A selection of some of the master draftsman's most significant drawings and watercolors includes several of his rarely reproduced erotic works to present a more balanced representation of his oeuvre, in a volume that offers insight into his creative process and motivation.

Die 1920er-Jahre sind Berlins goldenes Jahrzehnt, in dem das Nachkriegselend vergessen werden soll. Die Stadt erlebt einen enormen Modernisierungsschub und verwandelt sich in eine pulsierende Weltstadt, die zum Sehnsuchtsort hedonistischer Fantasien wird. Vom Alexanderplatz fährt eine Straßenbahn zur Milchstraße, während expressionistische Kunst und Nachtclubs mit sexueller Anarchie und Drogenneurosen die Bürger faszinieren. Diese Zeit ist geprägt von kultureller Blüte, intellektuellem Reichtum und exzessiver Lebensfreude. In Jazzbars, Kabaretts und überfüllten Kinos pulsiert das Leben, während rasende Reporter und Zeitungsjungen die Ereignisse festhalten. Männer und Frauen leben ihre Freiheit aus, rauchen, trinken und verdienen eigenes Geld. Fritz Lang dreht Filme, Siegfried Kracauer beobachtet das Leben der Angestellten, während Immobilienspekulanten und Glücksritter ihre Schicksale erleben. Franz Hessel flaniert durch die Stadt, während die Leuchtreklamen flackern und die S-Bahn ein Lied anstimmt. Der Band beleuchtet herausragende Werke aus Architektur, Malerei, Film und Fotografie, darunter die Bauprojekte von Peter Behrens, Otto Dix’ Porträt der Journalistin Sylvia von Harden, Lotte Jacobis Fotografien und Hannah Höchs Fotocollagen. Diese kreative Explosion der Vielfalt sollte jedoch bald enden.
