Vincent: A Graphic Biography by Simon Elliott
This accessible, lovingly illustrated, and thoughtful biography would have pleased Vincent Van Gogh. He wanted his work to strike something in the everyday person who gazed upon it. Vincent: A Graphic Biography by Simon Elliott carefully traces Van Gogh's legacy through the lens of his sister-in-law, Jo who persevered through immense hardship and heartbreak to honor Vincent's memory and talent.
Elliott artfully shares the arc of Van Gogh's life, short though it was, not shying away from either the beauty he observed or the darkness that so often surrounded and lashed out from him. Vincent: A Graphic Biography will leave readers with an indelible impression of this post-impressionist.
