Description: "Naifeh and Smith, authors of the Pulitzer Prize winning Jackson Pollock, have turned their talent and biographical artitstry on the subject of Vincent van Gogh. Working with the full cooperation of the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, they have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. They drew liberally from the artist’s famously eloquent letters and have delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences as well, providing the reader with a definitive portrait of the troubled painter, the first complete one in more than seventy years. It is vivid, poignant, and psychological acute, taking the reader into the mind of the remarkable creative spirit that was van Gogh. Their detailed and engaging research brings a completely new and sympathetic understanding to this unique artistic genius. They also put forth their own understanding of the death of van Gogh, claiming that he did not commit suicide. Although many might not agree with their theory, the book is already widely recognized as a landmark in van Gogh studies." -- with a bonus offer-- .
