Welcome to Litsy!

I began to suspect this authoritative biography of Vincent had an agenda in the final third of the book. The authors certainly have a unique theory about the painter‘s fatal wound. Otherwise, this is an extraordinarily intimate look at one of the world‘s greatest artists. The nearly 1000-page book focuses on his life as an artist at some expense of Vincent‘s early years. But I, as most others, read about Vincent for the glorious paintings! 🌻

Finally finished. Took me a solid year and a half. Some of it is painful to read but his paintings are still some of the best ever made.

What? I‘m totally working..🤷🏼‍♀️ look how busy I ammmm not..

Good day

This book was very informative and interesting. I love learning the backgrounds and history of people so of course I loved this one.

When the electricity goes out but you still want to read. Who else has been there? #thunderstorm

I love spring break.

I finally finished this #chunkster before the end of the year. This book is amazing as it literally covers Vincent‘s entire life. I learned so much about this artistic genius. The authors provide all of the accounts about Vincent‘s death and offer their own opinion based on their research in an appendix. #LitsyAtoZ #MountTBR #Nonfiction2018 @BookishMarginalia

OMG - 976 pages! It will take me FOREVER to read this book!!!! It will take me at least 50 hours! I am the slowest reader ever!!!

Van Gogh is my favorite painter. I particularly love his paintings of flowers. This book is great!

Van Gogh: The Life by Steven Naifeh was captivating, detailed, and emotional. The author was able to chronicle the tragic life and death of Vincent Van Gogh in a way the evoked strong emotions and the ability to envision scenes from his life. Van Gogh‘s life was filled with grief and mental illness that no one understood and condemned him for. I also enjoyed the discussion at the end of the novel where they debated suicide vs accidental death.

This insanely detailed account of the painter‘s life is an insightful look into both the art world and the tumultuous life Van Gogh endured. Best of all, it gives a full account of the complicated relationship between Vincent and his brother Theo. Loved the inclusion of all the most famous works, but sometimes it did get bogged down in descriptions. Definite read for those interested in art! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Need Van Gogh recommendations! And....GO.

We all know Van Gogh did a little bit of time traveling. 😋 #vangogh #doctorwho #timetravel #sizzlinsummerbooks I have always been fascinated by Van Gogh and that episode of doctor who made me cry which never happens. Thanks #BBC Flying #tardis I had to retake this bc I forgot the book. 😂😂

I am so excited to finally get to read this book! I've been waiting for over a month for my library to get it in. 😬😄🎉😍

"He expressed his truth in letters, and on canvas, immortalized by a complex and beautiful soul"

I really like this book but it is such a tome it spends more time on my shelf than in my hands. I make it unfulfilled promises that I will finish it.

I picked this gem up at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on my annual birthday visit a couple of years ago. Van Gogh is my favorite painter. I haven't read it yet, because it's 900 dense pages, but I will one day! (Said every book hoarder ever) #artrelatedbooks #seasonsreadings2016

My TBR shelf is out of control. This doesn't count the books I'm in the middle of reading 😁. Maybe we should form a pact @Blair_Reads ! #tbrtuesday
