![]() ![]() He is the quintessential modern artist, operating on the edge of his sensibilities, where life and art are inextricably bound together. Today his paintings sell for millions of dollars each, and his life as an artist is legendary. Between the excellent reproductions and the extraordinarily fine collection of biographical materials, this must be the best one-volume source on van Gogh.īy the time he died in 1890 at the age of thirty-seven Vincent van Gogh had painted hundreds of pictures, yet sold only a few. If you are interested in primary resources about van Gogh's life-newspaper articles letters and reminiscences from friends, fellow artists, relatives-this volume is a real treasure. If you are interested only in the reproductions (good drawings as well as paintings), you will enjoy their high quality-and the breadth of Vincent's work that they cover. ![]() * Publisher : Hugh Lauter Levin Associates First edition.

One thing is for certain though, the children of someone struggling with addiction problems will have some interpersonal challenges to overcome in their life. As with many things in life, both are true to a degree, and often depend on the particular nuances of a situation. When we think of who is most hurt by addiction, there will often be a palpable schism between those who believe the addict suffers most, and those who believe it’s the people around the addict. ![]() ![]() May it be a magical one.įor more info about THE FORGOTTEN BEASTS OF ELD, visit the Tachyon page.įor more info on WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD, visit the Tachyon page.įor more info on DREAMS OF DISTANT SHORES, visit the Tachyon page.
