Vincent: A Life of Van Gogh

About the Book

Vincent is a vibrant and entrancing account of the life of the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. One of the most beloved artists of all time and a key figure in the Post-Impressionist movement, van Gogh wrote compelling descriptions of the yearning, torment, and exaltations of a life intensely lived. Mr. Cafiero’s carefully researched book, which draws from the large collection of letters by the artist and writings by those who were close to him, focuses on the places Vincent lived and the women he loved as milestones in this intimate and fully realized portrayal of van Gogh.
