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

3.0

I chose not to continue reading it, although I am tremendously interested in Van Gogh, and this book is truly a sweeping and comprehensive look at the artist's life -- but at times it seemed to be too intent on pursuing a particularly dark slant on his personality, while downplaying clear evidence to the contrary -- instead of more fairly presenting "both sides" and letting the reader come to his own conclusions.
