Summary

Van Gogh has been described as a suffering genius; a nature-loving innocent; a man of violence, a danger to himself and others; the embodiment of peace and compassion; a religious fanatic; a Marxist; a madman; a cultural commodity; and an investment opportunity. Where does the truth lie and the myth begin? This book provokes new questions about how we see his life and work. Divided into the recurring themes that run through the artist's life and legacy, this book presents a collage of facts and "counterfacts" about the artist, dating from his lifetime until now
