Van Gogh

Caroline Moorehead

0/5 ( ratings)

For nearly everyone. Van Gogh personifies the legend of the misunderstood genius: the virtually self-taught Dutch artist, ridiculed by his contemporaries, who painted like one possessed but scarcely sold a picture, who eventually went mad and then shot himself. This tragic story, so movingly told in Van Gogh's letters to his devoted brother Theo, has tended to obscure his immense importance, second only to Cézanne's, as one of the father-figures of twentieth-century painting. Lara Vinca Masini's vivid, searching account of Van Gogh’s life and career is based on the findings of the latest research. It does full justice not only to the astonishing power and originality of the painter's work, but also to his great significance in the history of art.
