Book Synopsis
A beautifully illustrated exploration of the artistic and personal connections between Matthew Wong (19842019) and Vincent van Gogh. Shortly before his early death, the Chinese-Canadian artist Matthew Wong (19842019) emerged as a phenomenon. He started drawing and painting in 2011, at the age of 27, and within the space of just a few years had developed a highly personal style, using intense colours to paint imaginative landscapes. Wong's expressively lyrical works were inspired by both traditional Chinese painting and Western art. He was especially influenced by Vincent van Gogh (18531890), not only in terms of his painting style and choice of motifs, but also in some aspects of his life. Both artists were self-taught, acquiring their drawing and painting skills without tuition, and both faced mental health issues. Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world.' Published to accompany the ex
