Van Gogh: The Life by Steven Naifeh, Gregory White Smith

4.0

I began this biography as a wide-eyed Van Gogh worshipper. A 19 year old history student. Over the last five years, I struggled to finish the book as it completely deconstructed my conceptions of Vincent, art, suffering, and self. It is a thoroughly unromantic, beautiful exploration of a complex & complicated man.
