Johanna

Claire Cooperstein

4.9/5 (33742 ratings)

Description:At the heart of the novel is the struggle between Johanna's commitment to her husband's faith in his brother and her recognition of the primacy of Theo's love for Vincent. When she married Theo van Gogh, Johanna had everything she wanted - a husband who adored her, an exciting life as part of Paris's thriving art scene, and escape from a doting but oppressive father. Her happiness evaporated with Vincent's suicide. Shattered by his brother's death, Theo suffered a mental collapse from which he never recovered. When he died, Johanna was left with an infant son and an art collection most thought worthless. The Impressionist and Independent artists Theo had championed, such as Monet and Gauguin, were considered incompetents by all but the most avant-garde critics. Determined not to live with her parents, Johanna supported herself and her child by opening a boardinghouse, which shortly became a gathering place for the literati and modern artists of Amsterdam, as well as the feminists of that period.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
