Van Gog

The book follows the short and painful life of Van Gogh, one of the greatest artists of all time: his birth in a Dutch village, his years in Belgium and England, his arrival in impressionist Paris and his delight in the charms of southern France, where he died at the age of thirty-seven.

It shows how, despite mental crises and inner turmoil, Van Gogh never stopped searching for a painting process that would express the essence of what he painted.

Considers the unique way in which he used colors, which ranks him among the greatest painters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The indifference of his time contrasts with the extraordinary importance attributed to his works today.
