Recommendations for a biography / book about Van Gogh?

‎06-22-2022 11:19 AM

I went to  the Beyond Van Gogh Immersive Experience yesterday, and need to read more about him.  Please recommend any books you have read that aren't too dry.

 

Thanks!

 

By the way, if it comes to your town, don't even think twice - get tickets!  Preview: beyondvangogh and the dot com.

@nooni we did visit the gift shop.  I got a coffee mug with the bedroom painting.  Sadly, Starry Night nor any of the sunflower paintings were available in the mugs.  Beautiful clothing but wow the $$$.  I also like the movie with Kirk Douglas - he was wonderful.  The more recent Willem Dafoe version, At Eternity's Gate, is good though it took my eyes some time to adjust to the filming angles.
