The Study of Great Artist

These books have lately been an inspiration to me.  Irving Stone's "Lust for Life", the life of Van
Gogh. It's a romantic look at Vincent with mostly historic facts. I read it 40 years ago.

 The other book by:Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, "Van Gogh The Life" is more factual and harder to read because Van Gogh was a troubled soul.

The Monet "Life at Giverny" is fantastic it examines his time moving to Giverny and the pieces that were painted there. The Family and the results of all their ups and downs.

Both books have great pictures by these famous artist. Sunflowers and Waterlilies. People and Landscapes! I recommend them both! A-1
