Product description
In Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart, Russ Ramsey examines what art can teach us about the wonder and struggle of being alive. He invites readers to discover some of the world’s most celebrated artists and works, applying the beauty of the gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face.Beyond a mere introduction to great art, Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart is about loving to learn what art has to teach us about the wonder and struggle of being alive.
Did you know that:Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"?
Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa?
Artemisia Gentileschi was tortured with thumbscrews to verify her testimony at her own rapist's trial?
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 about 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. Each story from some of the history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face.
