“Van Gogh's brutality, which is also his intensity, must have inflamed sensations Matisse already felt. The Fauve Matisse wanted to roar, and never did an artist's brush roar more powerfully than Van Gogh's.”
G. di San Lazzaro probes deeply into the motives and methods of the various schools of painting which have flourished in France during a fifty year period. But it is at the same time a book for the amateur; it is simply and readably written, agreeably free from the technical terms and jargon that so often obscure books of art criticism. As the author himself says, it is meant to be simply a friendly chat which has been inspired by love of art.
