Clive Chafer
Each night, when the hours of painting and drawing were over, Vincent van Gogh put pen to paper and poured out his heart through letters to his beloved brother, Theo, his confidant and companion. No thought was too small, no element of his craft too insignificant, no happening too trivial. It was all scrupulously recorded and shared.
In these letters, Van Gogh reveals himself as artist and man. Even more than if he had purposely intended to tell his life story, Van Gogh’s letters lay bare his deepest feelings, as well as his everyday concerns and his views of the world of art. Irving Stone has edited the letters of Vincent in such a way as to retain every line of beauty, significance, and importance. “It is my humble opinion that Vincent was as great a writer and philosopher,” Stone says, “as he was a painter.”

This audio book is over 21 hours long. It is straight from his letters and is the words of Vincent. It gives you very detailed times during his life. If you know his story already and want his feelings and take on his life this is a perfect book. I believe you will enjoy it as much as I do.
If you know Vincent's life story already this is a perfect audio book for you.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in art and artists. It completely contradicts the popular Hollywood version of Van Gogh.What did you like best about this story?
His amazing skills as a writer. When he describes a scene it's a vivid as his art.What does Clive Chafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As these are letters written by Van Gogh the performance isn't really important.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Not applicable.Vincent Van Gogh could have been a great writer.

The best book I've ever read

Biggest complaint many French quotes and phrases direct from Vincent but the narrator doesn’t translate so it sounds beautiful but of no use to non French speakers. Many of these are important to the story.
Not bad but I would look elsewhere
