Leaving Van Gogh

Carol Wallace

4.9/5 (18060 ratings)

Description:In the summer of 1890, in an empty wheat field in the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise, Vincent van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver. He died two days later, at the age of 37, largely unknown despite having completed over 2,000 works of art that would later go on to become some of the most important and valued in the world.In Leaving Van Gogh, Carol Wallace brilliantly navigates the mysteries surrounding Van Gogh’s death, relying on meticulous research to paint an indelible portrait of the artist’s final days—and the friendship that may or may not have destroyed him. Telling Van Gogh’s story from an utterly new perspective, from the point of view of his personal physician, Dr. Gachet, who was a pioneer in the humane treatment of the mentally ill and a great lover of the arts, Wallace allows us to view the legendary artist as we’ve never seen him before. In our narrator’s eyes, Van Gogh is a formidable force, a man whose art is haunting, fierce, and brave, and whose mind, plagued by demons, is an irresistible puzzle, posing the most potentially rewarding challenge of the doctor’s career.As we witness the two men grow closer—and as Gachet becomes increasingly enraptured by Van Gogh’s personality and his canvases—questions loom. If Gachet was such a competent doctor, why did Van Gogh spiral so quickly into a depression that culminated in suicide? And where did the destitute painter manage to find the gun with which he delivered that fatal shot?A masterful, gripping novel that explores the price of creativity, Leaving Van Gogh is a luminous story about what it means to live authentically, and the power and limits of friendship.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
