Lust for Life

by Irving Stone

About this title: No artist has been more ruthlessly driven by his creative urge, nor more isolated by it from most ordinary sources of human happiness, than Vincent Van Gogh. A painter of genius, his life was an incessant struggle against poverty, discouragement, madness and despair. Lust for Life skilfully captures the exciting atmosphere of the Paris of the Post-Impressionists and reconstructs with great insight the development of Van Gogh's art. The painter is brought to life not only as an artist but as a personality and this account of his violent, vivid and tormented life is a novel of rare compassion ... read more

"Although this is a fictionalized account of Van Gogh's life, it also counts as the artist's bio, of sorts.

I first read this book years ago in art school, trying to get my hands on every material i could on my favorite painters, Van Gogh prominent on that list. Then I re read it a few years ago when i found an old copy at a bookstore sale, and was amazed at how quickly and easily the writing pulled me in. As in 'The Agony and The Ecstasy' (on Michaaelangelo), here Irving Stone truly pulls out all the stops to being the 'other time' of a genius' life to light, and he mostly succeeds. What you feel is that you 'see' life through Van Gogh's mad and wonderful eye, and that such seeing is indeed a 'lust' for life, a passion unrivaled.

I think that it is impossible to look at any Van Gogh painting in the same way after reading this book."

"I really enjoy biographies, particularly of the deceased, and although I'm not a huge art buff I really liked this book. It was interesting to read about Van Gogh, his family, his ups and downs and eventual craziness. It quashed some of the historical misconceptions about Van Gogh but added some more complexities to him. I watched the movie with Kirk Douglas from the '50s after the book, and it sure made Van Gogh look cuckoo. I liked the movie too, but am waiting for Hollywood to remake it. You know eventually they always do."

"A wonderful novel about the life of Vincent Van Gogh! I loved every page of this book. Although not a strict biography, the story gives you a great feel for the great artist and brings him to life. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loves VanGogh."

"the traumatic and dramatic life of Vincent Van Gogh. shows his spiritual attempts in the Irish coal mines, trila nd error attempts to learn to draw, his romantic confrontations and final partial success in oil painting when he settles in the hot French countryside. His mind begins to fail and is considered a mad man by others. Very interesting."
