Vincent Billem Van Gogh (1853-1890) lived a very short life, but even shorter was his creative life - only the last ten years were devoted to painting. Hungry, almost miserable existence, full of loneliness and contempt of others, titanic work and self-conscious search for a calling, in the XX century turned into a worldwide interest and recognition. During his life, Van Gogh sold only one picture - for only 400 francs, and almost 100 years later at an auction in New York, one of his paintings was purchased for almost 100 million dollars. The biography of the artist, written by a French philosopher and writer, is based on correspondence with his brother Theo, as well as on the memories and testimonies of contemporaries; the book details Van Gogh's mental illness - the author, avoiding an unambiguous interpretation of this issue, relies on the diagnoses of doctors who treated the artist, as well as on the hypotheses of modern psychiatrists.
