Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: George Allen Unwin Ltd [Published Date: 1967]. Hardcover, 182 pp. [From front jacket flap] Van Gogh was a man of such extraordinary capacity, his life so pathetic, the flowering of his genius so remarkable and his letters so exquisite that one cannot fail to be deeply attracted by an analysis of his life and struggles which probes beneath the surface. This is the purpose of Dr. Nagera's book. Based upon the letters written by the painter to his brother and on additional information contained in the COMPLETE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH the book is concerned not only with the life of a great painter but of a great man.Dr. Nagera's psychoanalytic interpretation of the empty chairs is also deeply interesting and subsequent chapters describe clearly the complex influences which exerted their effect on van Gogh's life and work from the time of his birth onwards. The book is immensely readable and cannot fail to attract all the admirers of this great artist.
