Abstract (en)

Discusses aspects of Van Gogh's training, oeuvre and career, including his interlinked moral, political and artistic motives, and rejection of the traditions of Western painting. Criticizes Van Gogh's inability to depict space in his paintings, and unfavorably compares his artistic development to that of Cézanne.
