Lust for life : the novel of Vincent van Gogh
Rare Books
"The turbulent life of Vincent Van Goh is the basis for Irving Stone's best-selling novel. Out of the misery of the painter's struggle for existence and the magnificence he achieved in his art, there is woven his profoundly moving life-story. Van Gogh worked, fought and created with some of the most celebrated men of the century: Gaguin, Zola, Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec; and he lived with some of the most abject human beings of his time. In the pages of Lust for Life, Van Gogh is indicated as man and artist, and his tormented career is revealed with understanding and compassion"--Dust jacket flap.

Manuscripts
The Alexander Z. Kruse papers contain documents relating to Kruse's career as an artist, art critic, and author. The time frame covered is 1890 to 1975 with the bulk of the material originating from the 1930s to 1960s. The material is arranged by functional series and includes: literary manuscripts and notebooks; correspondence; photographic materials--photographs and slides; ephemera--clippings, catalogs, and biographical material; and books. The majority of the collection is in its original format with a few being photocopies. The photographic materials are in good condition. However, much of the ephemera (especially the newspaper clippings) is extremely fragile. Most of the clippings are from Kruse's columns with the Brooklyn Eagle and the New York Post.
