Van Gogh struggle and success

In this 110-minute audiobook, Helen Mirren narrates the story of Vincent Van Gogh's struggle for recognition, and the uneasy relationship he had with the notion of 'success'. It is the story of Vincent's endeavor to create the art that he wanted to see, and through his life story, many of our core human strengths and shortcomings are poignantly encapsulated. The accompanying art book illustrates in lavish detail the success that followed Van Gogh's tragic death. Never before has anything been published about Van Gogh's sense of marketing and business, or addressed the success he gained through dedicated struggle. This publication views him differently, casting a new perspective on how he truly became an icon of the contemporary world.
