"Ultimately, The Man in the Painter’s Room is a eulogy of Van Gogh’s life and legacy. A simple man who battled his own demons for much of his life, his artistic legacy continues to hold sway. Odone makes sure to recognize the impact that Van Gogh had on his contemporaries and those that followed. The book plays out more as a slice-of-life than true biography, but in balancing subtle humor with the beauty and tragedy of its subject, Odone’s tribute to a famous artist is well worth the read."

Black Panel Press has released another fantastic graphic novel - this one following Vincent Van Gogh during the last 3 months of his life. It’s a beautiful and reflective look at arguably the most creative period of his career. Odone’s illustrations, particularly when describing Vincent’s depression, are guaranteed to strike an emotional chord with readers. He’s also included actual letters written by Vincent and his family, which makes the story all the more personal. I loved it, and would recommend the book to all admirers of his work.
