Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith galvanized readers with their astonishing Jackson Pollock: An American Saga, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography, a book acclaimed for its miraculous research and overwhelming narrative power. Now Naifeh and Smith have written another tour de force—an exquisitely detailed, compellingly readable, and ultimately heartbreaking portrait of creative genius Vincent van Gogh.
Working with the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Naifeh and Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. While drawing liberally from the artist’s famously eloquent letters, they have also delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences, illuminating with poignancy the wanderings of Van Gogh’s troubled, restless soul. Naifeh and Smith bring a crucial understanding to the larger-than-life mythology of this great artist—his early struggles to find his place in the world; his intense relationship with his brother Theo; his impetus for turning to brush and canvas; and his move to Provence, where in a brief burst of incandescent productivity he painted some of the best-loved works in Western art.
The authors also shed new light on many unexplored aspects of Van Gogh’s inner world: his deep immersion in literature and art; his erratic and tumultuous romantic life; and his bouts of depression and mental illness.
Though countless books have been written about Van Gogh, and though the broad outlines of his tragedy have long inhabited popular culture, no serious, ambitious examination of his life has been attempted in more than seventy years. Naifeh and Smith have re-created Van Gogh’s life with an astounding vividness and psychological acuity that bring a completely new and sympathetic understanding to this unique artistic genius whose signature images of sunflowers and starry nights have won a permanent place in the human imagination.
Praise
Advance praise for Van Gogh: The Life
“The definitive biography for decades to come.”—Leo Jansen, curator, the Van Gogh Museum, and co-editor of Vincent van Gogh: The Complete Letters
Praise for Jackson Pollock: An American Saga
“A superb biography [that] reads with the fluid grace of a fine novel. . . . In a period of many fine biographies, this ranks among the best.”—Detroit Free Press
“Amazing . . . An extraordinarily riveting work, full of miraculous research.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Brilliant and definitive . . . so absorbing in its narrative drive and so exhaustingly detailed that it makes everything that came before seem like trial balloons.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Monumental and impressive.”—The Washington Post
“Unprecedented . . . Never before have we had such a thorough and affecting account of an American artist.”—Los Angeles Times
“As imposing as a history book, as entertaining as a novel, and as close as the reader may ever come to sharing the breadth—and sensing the madness—of artistic genius and the genesis of a masterpiece.”—USA Today
Gregory White Smith
Gregory White Smith and Steven Naifeh have collaborated on many books, including The Mormon Murders, Final Justice, A Stranger in the Family, and Jackson Pollock: An American Saga, which was a National Book Award finalist and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize. They are also co-editors of the well-known reference works The Best Doctors in America and The Best Lawyers in America. Their most recent book was On a Street Called Easy, in a Cottage Called Joye. They live in South Carolina.
A fantastic insight into a tragic life. This well researched biography is painful at times to read, because of the shrill cries of agony and the searing loneliness of Vincent; his suffering, poured into his letters with increasingly desperate pleas for help, and ever diminishing hope into the ears of his captive. 我最近才知道那个画家,现在听到他的名字我就不会那么糊涂了。
评分文字很流畅,读起来像是读纽约时报上的文章。
评分时至今日,我的一生从未如此深远地被一本书影响过,我的心灵从未如此彻底地被一本书打动过,我的灵魂从未如此赤裸地被一本书窥探过。这半年来,我有了一个心心念念的密友,多了一份难以言说的痛楚。默默流泪过,无声哽咽过,号啕大哭过,如今结束了,却几乎被颓唐无力吞噬。我很想说点什么,说一说梵高,说一说命运,说一说我的无力。可谁又懂无言的书页也会呢喃着连绵的哀愁伤人至深。

终于花了五个多月读完了这本书,自己经历从迷茫懒散,孤独难耐,分离伤痛,生病难受,到生活与工作终于稍有起色,却猛地被背叛与伤害,终于能在今晚静下心来,翻开最后一页,从心底由衷感谢生命中出现了短暂的梵高。 五个月多前的某天,靠在床头,盯着墙壁上梵高的1889年所作...

评分读完了900页,90万字,历时10年写成的《梵高传》 是目前为止读过最好的人物传记 因为它真实、残酷、矛盾重重、去英雄化 却又诗意非凡 充满让人心碎又无限珍惜的哀愁 就像生活本来的样子 小时候曾深深感动的欧文斯通版《渴望生活》 现在看来浮夸、恶俗、无法忍受 不会推荐给自己...
