Zuly’s Reviews > Van Gogh: The Life > Status Update

A fascinating book on the life of VG and the art of his time. Looking up artists mentioned is proving to be an education in impressionism, symbolism, cloisonism, pointilism, +. Records and letters kept by VG to and from family members, esp Theo, provide an almost daily account of the artist's life. Mostly exposition, and that a rendering of his thinking, attitudes toward art and artists; readers live in VG's mind.
