Vincent became an artist after failed stints as an art-seller, teacher and minister. Stone has also brilliantly highlighted the art scene during the period, describing several artists who had come in contact with Vincent and their particular artistic style: Seurat’s scientific/intellectual approach Gauguin’s love of color and Rousseau’s imagination. Seldom do you come across an interesting biography, but in this fictionalized biographical account of Vincent Van Gogh, Irving Stone has accomplished this feat, giving a fluent account of the artist’s life reconstructed from his letters to his brother Theo (approximately 700). There can hardly be a life more poignantly painful, solitary and misunderstood and an after-life more glorious. With more than 2,100 artworks (860 oil paintings and 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches) produced in just over a decade, but not even three-digit art works sold during his lifetime. “Just as each vivid brushstroke elevates a Van Gogh masterpiece, every detail of our Wealth Management solutions has been finely crafted to raise banking to an art form.” – RBS Punchline (Van Gogh Preferred Banking)
