There were translations of his letters to Theo at times in the book where it would support the story line. There are breasts and talk of sex so keep that in mind for young ones. I liked seeing the cartoon versions of his artwork and re-reading some stuff I already know but overall probably skippable. I received as a gift after seeing Vase with Red Poppies by VVG. That was serious art and this is a bit silly.

Ogni tema è affrontato con delicatezza ma non con superficialità facendo emergere il disagio di una persona fragile e incapace di trovare la propria strada nel mondo. Sono contentissima di aver trovato questo libro, lo adoro! ( ) Feseven78 | Apr 17, 2019 | nwhyte | May 24, 2013 | no reviews | add a review

"The turbulent life of Vincent van Gogh is a constant source of inspiration and intrigue for artists and art lovers. In this beautiful graphic biography, artist and writer Barbara Stok documents the brief and intense period of creativity Van Gogh spent in Arles, Provence. Away from Paris, Van Gogh falls in love with the landscape and light of the south of France. He dreams of setting up an artists' studio in Arles - somewhere for him and his friends to paint together. But attacks of mental illness leave the painter confused and disorientated. When his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin refuses to reside permanently at the Yellow House, Van Gogh cuts off part of his ear. The most notorious event of art history has happened - and Van Gogh's dreams are left in tatters. However, throughout this period of intense emotion and hardship, Vincent's brother Theo stands by him, offering constant and unconditional support. Stok has succeeded in breathing new life into one of the most fascinating episodes of art history."--Publisher description. No library descriptions found. |
