Are you one of the people who like Vincent Van Gogh's paintings but know little about
the artist, and think that he's been somewhat mystified. Or you have read his letters and
his biographies, but would still like to have a clearer insight into the artist's life and
how that affects his work. Well this book "Van Gogh's Inner Struggles" by Liesbeth Heenk
is for you. This book deals with three topics around Vincent Van Gogh's inner struggles.
First is, how did the artist bill himself as an artist, how did he maintain his self-esteem
when he was financially dependent on his younger brother Theo And secondly, what type of work
did he make? Because he had been an art dealer for almost seven years, and he knew very well
what would sell and what wouldn't. He wanted to succeed badly, at least to achieve financial
independence, but nonetheless, he followed his heart, and made the artwork that he knew
the public wasn't yet ready to accept. How did he deal with it? And lastly, his mental
instability. Was it madness or was it something else? And how did that affect his artworks?
So if you would like the answers to these three questions, and to get a clearer insight
into the artist's life, and how that affect the artist artworks, get this book, it will
be the most effective 60 minutes you will ever spend on studying Van Gogh, and how his
personal life affect his paintings. So I highly recommend this book. Thank you.
