Lust for life : the novel of Vincent van Gogh

Image not available

Description: "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.
