Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Synopsis

A gorgeously rendered, emotional exploration of the life and death of one of the most famously tormented painters in human history. Through an emotional dialogue between Vincent and his own madness, the artist revisits the most significant loves and losses of his short life. From his tender and tumultuous relationship with his brother Theo, to the famous quarrel with Gauguin that resulted in the self-mutilation of his ear, to the extreme act of self-harm that led to his death, Vincent Van Gogh channelled an extraordinary light as bright today as it was upon his death in 1890.

Now in print for the first time in English, Van Gogh: Sadness is Forever casts its own light onto the darkest shadows of the painter's life and inspirations.
