Published on the hundredth anniversary of Van Goghs death, this is the first fulllength biography of this undying man in twenty years and surely the most comprehensive account to date. Mr. Callow treats more searchingly than any previous work the development of Van Goghs genius and his emergence as an artist after early struggles to find a vocation, first in the world of art dealing and later as an evangelical missionary among Belgian miners. Using the skills and psychological insights of an accomplished novelist, and drawing upon new Van Gogh materials which have surfaced in the last two decades, Mr. Callow sets a turbulent life story firmly in historical context, including Vincents desperate attempts to accept his repressive religious upbringing, and his unhappy experiences in love. The story is filled with paradoxes and crushing failures, ending in suicide that was to lead to enormous posthumous success. Through Mr. Callows book we can see Van Goghs life and work in terms of tumult, of a legend breaking out of the triumph and confusion of 19thcentury culture while representing it uniquely. It is perhaps the story of a saint, certainly a hero of art.
