Van Gogh has a broken heart : What Art teaches us about the wonder and struggle of being alive
Outline : Discover stories from some of history's most celebrated artists and works that apply the beauty of the gospel to the suffering we all face and the hope we all need.
Did you know Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"?
Did you know Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa?
Did you know Norman Rockwell's critics said his work would never be accepted as "high art" - and he agreed?
These stories--and many more--shaped the work these artists left behind. In their art are lessons common to the human experience of the wonder and struggle of being alive: dreams lost, perspectives changed, and humility derived through suffering. In Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart, Russ Ramsey digs into these artists' stories for readers who may be new to art, as well as for lifelong students of art history, to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives.
