On the Verge of Insanity: Van Gogh and his Illness by Hans Luijten, Teio Meedendorp, Laura Prins, Leo Jansen, Nienke Bakker, Marije Vellekoop, Louis van Tilborgh
4.0
I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm a huge fan of Van Gogh, (in fact, my visit to the Van Gogh Museum was the highlight of my trip to the Netherlands) and I've read a lot of books about his life. However, this book still presented information and pictures that I hadn't read or seen before. It's an informative and heartbreaking look at the genius of Van Gogh, supplemented through paintings, historical documents, and photos. Extremely timely as he died 126 years ago yesterday - highly recommended.
