Vincent Van Gogh: Sadness Will Last Forever

A beautiful and stark depiction of Vincent Van Gogh’s struggle with depression and the art it produced, told through an emotional dialogue between Vincent and his own madness. For fans of art history and historical fiction.

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 channeled 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.
