Features: This book was once ranked as one of the five greatest biographies of Western, divided into two volumes: "The Life of a Genius" and "Dear Theo." It collects a brilliant biography of the genius painter Vincent van Gogh and over 200 oil paintings and sketches. Renowned Chinese painter Wu Guanzhong wrote the preface and recommended it as one of the most collectible books of 2005. As the most outstanding genius painter of the 19th century, Vincent van Gogh was born in a small village in the Netherlands. He lived in poverty and obscurity during his lifetime, selling only one oil painting and two sketches, yet after his death, he was revered and honored as a master. When mentioning Van Gogh, one cannot help but think of the golden sunflowers, bright roses, and the ear he lost. In fact, they have long become symbols of the madness of a genius. As renowned Chinese painter Wu Guanzhong said, "The sunflowers in his eyes are not ordinary flowers. The first time I saw his sunflowers, I immediately felt how insignificant I was." This book describes the short yet brilliant life of this genius who loved life but faced repeated setbacks. As the eldest son of a pastor's family, his 37-year life journey was filled with loneliness yet shone brilliantly, leaving behind over 1,500 oil paintings and sketches, as well as tens of thousands of letters to his brother Theo. His life has been written into novels and filmed, spreading widely around the world and influencing generations of artists and ordinary people. This book is divided into two volumes: "The Life of a Genius" and "Dear Theo," systematically introducing Van Gogh's life and works, and collecting over 200 oil and sketch drawings, making it worth collecting.
