"The turbulent life of Vincent van Gogh is a constant source of inspiration and intrigue for artists and art lovers. In this beautiful graphic biography, artist and writer Barbara Stok documents the brief and intense period of creativity Van Gogh spent in Arles, Provence. Away from Paris, Van Gogh falls in love with the landscape and light of the south of France. He dreams of setting up an artists' studio in Arles - somewhere for him and his friends to paint together. But attacks of mental illness leave the painter confused and disorientated. When his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin refuses to reside permanently at the Yellow House, Van Gogh cuts off part of his ear. The most notorious event of art history has happened - and Van Gogh's dreams are left in tatters. However, throughout this period of intense emotion and hardship, Vincent's brother Theo stands by him, offering constant and unconditional support. Stok has succeeded in breathing new life into one of the most fascinating episodes of art history."--Publisher description.… (altro)

Stok yeah! Geschiedenis heerlijk vlot en voldoende diep verteld. Verhaal in achterhoofd meegenomen naar tentoonstelling Jean Julien Mima, de emotionele levensverhalen van kunstenaars: om van te smullen. ( )

Interesting. Large focus on him trying to set up an artist studio and how much hope he put into it, not just for himself but for current and future artists. The book showed him as very hyper until he snapped and needed medical help. The doctors said he had epilepsy and he would need to be medically supervised because of repeating episodes.

Ends on a happy note. He sold a painting and met back up with his brother Theo and his namesake nephew Vincent.

There were translations of his letters to Theo at times in the book where it would support the story line.

There are breasts and talk of sex so keep that in mind for young ones.

I liked seeing the cartoon versions of his artwork and re-reading some stuff I already know but overall probably skippable. I received as a gift after seeing Vase with Red Poppies by VVG. That was serious art and this is a bit silly. ( )

nonfic/graphic biography. Glimpse into Van Gogh's colorful life in S. France and his relationship with his brother Theo. ( )

Da amante di Van Gogh ho apprezzato tantissimo questa graphic novel scoperta per caso, letta attivando al volo il primo mese gratis di Kindle Unlimited e presto presente fisicamente nella mia libreria.
I disegni sono bellissimi e rendono perfettamente l'idea dei vari periodi di umore e colore di Vincent e del rapporto con il fratello, con la malattia e con la pittura.
Ogni tema è affrontato con delicatezza ma non con superficialità facendo emergere il disagio di una persona fragile e incapace di trovare la propria strada nel mondo.
Sono contentissima di aver trovato questo libro, lo adoro! ( )

Liefhebber van het werk van Vincent van Gogh en geïnteresseerd in zijn leven? Lees dan zeker dit boek waarin Barbara Stok de periode schetst waarin Vincent van Gogh zich in Zuid-Frankrijk ophield.
Is deze Van Gogh niet jouw smaak of heb je inmiddels wel genoeg over zijn werken en leven gelezen en gezien? Lees dan toch dit boek. Het is namelijk ook heel goed te lezen als een verhaal dat op zichzelf staat. Alleen wanneer je meer bekend bent met Vincent van Gogh zijn werk zul je wel heel veel herkennen in de beelden die Barbara Stok weergegeven heeft om zijn leven te schetsen.

De tekenstijl van Barbara Stok is bijna eenvoudig te noemen. De lijnen zijn helder en de kleuren eenduidig zonder schaduwovergangen. Met deze stijl weet zij toch de gedrevenheid en intensiteit van het personage Vincent van Gogh neer te zetten. Terwijl ik het aan het lezen was, werd ik meegezogen in zijn onrust, zijn zorgen, zijn plannen en het verliezen van zijn grip op de werkelijkheid. Het heeft zelfs zo'n indruk bij mij achtergelaten dat ik er vannacht over gedroomd heb.

Vincent van Gogh heeft het verhaal over het afsnijden van een stukje van zijn oor aan zich kleven. Dat komt ook in dit boek aan bod. Alleen doordat het ingebed is in zijn leven in Zuid-Frankrijk is het niet meer dan een incident wat een detail is in zijn volle bestaan.

De relatie tussen Vincent en Theo, zijn jongere broer is ook zeer helder weergegeven. De liefde tussen hen spettert van de bladzijden. Ik werd er helemaal warm van.

Ondanks de intensiteit en heftigheid is het nergens theatraal of onnodig dramatisch. Het heeft precies de juiste balans tussen de neutrale verteller van de feiten en de emoties die met deze feiten gepaard gaan.

Ik kan niet anders dan lovend over dit boek zijn. ( )
