Publisher's Synopsis
This Vincent van Gogh set contains the complete Secrets of Van Gogh series:
The 1-Hour Van Gogh Book is an accessible introduction to Van Gogh's fascinating life and work.
Van Gogh's Inner Struggle offers an indepth look into the life of this tortured genius. The letters vividly show that Van Gogh's life was no bed of roses. He acknowledged that being an artist involved struggle, but he believed that one would benefit from adversity, both personally and professionally. "No victory without a battle, no battle without suffering."
Van Gogh Today is the only volume that is not art historical, but fiction instead. It contains eight refreshingly original short stories of lives that were touched in some way or another by the artist. They are a reflection of the power of his story, and why Van Gogh remains a timeless inspiration to us all.
Van Gogh in Love tells the story of Van Gogh's longing for love and a family, exploring the lesser-known area of the artist's romantic life. As can perhaps be expected from an artist like Van Gogh, his choice of women was unconventional. He favored more mature companions, and pursued relationships with women that were considered unsuitable.
Van Gogh and Money focuses on the artist's financial situation, a subject never explored before. Regardless of the actual amount of money he received from his brother, it becomes clear that Van Gogh was poor in the light of his ambition.
These special Van Gogh biographies have all been written in an accessible manner without the use of jargon.
