Vincent Van Gogh, an artist struggle

 

Van Gogh was born in Netherlands in 1853. He was a very educated boy, but he copied bad manners at school from his classmates, and he changed school four times. When he was sixteen, he started to work in different places, until he decided to start painting (when he was 27 years old). He had a mental disease and a tragic ending, but his pictures became very famous later.

My opinion:  I bought this book today in the Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam). Mine is in English, but the picture above has the title in Dutch, the original language.

My rating: 7
