Description
Vincent van Gogh continues to fascinate more than a century after his death in 1890.
Yet how much of what is commonly known about this world-renowned artist is accurate?
Though he left thousands of works and a trove of letters, the definitive Van Gogh remains elusive.
Was he a madman who painted his greatest pieces in a passionate fury, or a lifelong student of art, literature and science who carefully planned each composition?
Was he a loner dedicated only to his craft or an active collaborator with his contemporaries?
Why is he best known for self-mutilation and ""The Starry Night""?
This book has biographers, scriptwriters, lyricists, actors, museum curators and tour guides, among others, presenting diverse interpretations of his life and work, creating a mythic persona that may in fact help us in the search for the real van Gogh.
