Product Description

Product Description

The personality of Vincent van Gogh (18531890)a 19th-century combination of dropout, rebel, and geniusand the source of his enormous achievement continue to fascinate people as deeply as his vivid, wildly painted canvasses of sunflowers, peasants, and starry nights. In this first and only in-depth study of the relationship between van Gogh's psychological development and his art, Albert J. Lubin, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry (Emeritus) at Stanford University and a practicing psychoanalyst, draws on the tremendous wealth of information available about van Gogh, to explore his personal conflicts in the context of the forces that molded him: familial, historical, cultural, religious, artistic, and literary. Dr. Lubin approaches van Gogh not as a mysterious mix of sick eccentric and martyred artist, but as a complete man who transformed his suffering into a phenomenal body of work. Lubin's daring psychological insights and art criticism allow us to better understand, and more fully appreciate, van Gogh's artistic triumph over his inner torment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lubin analyzes van Gogh from a different angle., 17 Aug 1999
By A Customer
As I am writing a thesis on van Gogh, Lubin has been my savior. He is the only author to focus on the brother Vincent born exactly one year to the day before the famous artist. This brother greatly influenced the works of van Gogh. You learn a lot about Vincent van Gogh by reading this psychologists point of view.
