Was he mentally ill or a genius? What was the precise nature of Van Gogh's illness? Did it influence his work? This intriguing publication examines how Van Gogh's mental condition revealed itself in 1888 and how he struggled with it throughout his life. Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo, his artist friends, and his sister Willemien reveal that his primary reason for living was his art. Richly illustrated with artworks, letters, previously unpublished historical documents, and photographs, 'On the Verge of Insanity' provides a nuanced and considered overview of an extraordinary man who had to cope with mental illness at a time when the symptoms were readily misunderstood and professional treatment was insufficient. The authors also offer a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding Van Gogh's death in Auvers-sur-Oise, and they review the many diagnoses that have been proposed since the artist's death. 600 10 $a Gogh, Vincent van, $d 1853-1890 $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Gogh, Vincent van, $d 1853-1890 $x Mental health. 600 17 $a Gogh, Vincent van, $d 1853-1890. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032032 650 7 $a Mental health. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016339 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 700 1 $a Tilborgh, Louis van, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84058148 700 1 $a Prins, Laura, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016125550 700 1 $a Meedendorp, Teio, $e contributor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr95027786 710 2 $a Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr96012202 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=740FAE6E071E11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
