Vincent van Gogh: His Life, His Death, and His Paintings Summarized

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Chris Newman

Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape. Different from other impressionistic artists, he developed his still lifes, his portraits, and other beautiful paintings.

An entire museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh. And even though his name is famous now, his life was tough, and he faced many fears, worries, and inner demons. Van Gogh was depressed. According to the narrative, he cut off his own ear, and eventually, he committed suicide at the age of 37. The sad reality that this artist’s success wasn’t evident during his life but only after his death, doesn’t change the fact that he is, nevertheless, a grand success. If only he were alive to see it.

Let’s discuss the circumstances under which this Dutch painter lived, and what moved him to go into the direction in which he did.

This audio book ought to get a big, fat 5-star review. It's an appealing principle, the entire premise of this book. You do not normally see that in some other books. And that's exactly why it can use an individual like me to compose a few positive aspects of it. I did not stop listening till the end. That's how much I liked it. I was pleased to hear the appropriate articulation of all the words by a qualified audiobook producer.
