Mysterious Van Gogh. The Art, Madness, and Genius of the Dutch Artist

The creativity and fate of Van Gogh are complex and ambiguous: using bright colors, an expressive painting style, and outlined forms, Van Gogh struggled not only with the indifference of his contemporaries but also with a destructive mental illness. This book will tell about the life and creativity of the artist, but in an absolutely new form for the reader. The diaries of Van Gogh's nephew, Vincent Junior, will serve as the basis of the plot, and, going through them, Costantino d’Orazio will provide information that will answer the most difficult questions. Vincent Junior will travel to Brabant, Belgium, Paris, and Provence to see with his own eyes what remains of the landscapes depicted in his uncle's paintings. He will communicate with the few who knew the artist, ask them questions, and observe them. The flashes of colors, discussions with family, attachments and friendships that illuminate this restless journey will be masterfully conveyed by the author on the pages of this book.
