Vincent van Gogh committed suicide in 1890, and his brother, Theo, died soon thereafter. His widow, Johanna, was left with many paintings and the desire for Vincent's recognition. In this historical novel, Johanna hires Armand Roulin, painted by Vincent in Arles, to research the artists and villages of France where Vincent lived. Along the way he becomes attracted to a young woman in Auvers, also painted by Vincent. Join Armand as he travels in the steps of Vincent and meets Dr. Gachet, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissaro, and other renown artists who worked with Vincent.

With the Nazi occupation of Kovno (Lithuania), her life changed forever. Zlata Santocki Sidrer was Jewish, but she survived the horrors of the Holocaust.Gone was her normal life and her teenage dream of becoming a doctor. Instead, she witnessed untold deprivations, massacres, imprisonment, hunger and slave labor before being transported to the Stutthof Concentration Camp. Her story of the death march is a testament to her fighting spirit and the limits of human endurance. Yet the challenges did not end with liberation. Lovingly compiled from recorded interviews and researched by her eldest daughter, Ettie, this is an account of a remarkably resilient woman who raised herself out of the ashes after unimaginable hardship and sorrow. She found love and happiness where none could be expected-a secret marriage in the ghetto, escapes, dangerous border crossings, reunifications, and life-saving friendships.Ettie's quest to learn more about her ancestry led her to Lithuania and Poland-in her mother's footsteps. The author reflects on the impact of her family's experiences on her own beliefs and behaviors, thereby adding to the literature about Second Generation and transgenerational trauma.In these memoirs she honors her family by telling their amazing story of survival and collects evidence to corroborate their painful history.

Un guide abondamment illustré qui met en lumière les pièces maîtresses du Musée Van Gogh qui abrite la plus vaste collection au monde de peintures, dessins, lettres et gravures de l'artiste. Écrit dans un style clair et vivant, le guide décrit les chefs-d'œuvre exposés en son sein.En novembre 2014, le Musée Van Gogh a revu la présentation de sa collection permanente, mettant une emphase accrue sur la vie torturée de l'artiste. Vous serez en mesure de suivre le développement de Vincent van Gogh en observant ses œuvres les plus importantes, mais aussi d'en apprendre plus sur ses ambitions personnelles, ses émotions, les mythes qui l'entourent et l'influence qu'il continue d'avoir sur l'art.En entrant dans le Musée Van Gogh, vous vous retrouverez face à une demi-douzaine d'auto-portraits exposés sur fond multicolore, composé d'agrandissements de ces mêmes toiles. La présentation laisse beaucoup d'espace entre les œuvres, et la couleur des murs varie au gré des périodes : vert-brun pour les premiers dessins et tableaux du Brabant, vert-bleu pour les peintures parisiennes, un bleu plus profond et plus riche pour ses œuvres provençales éblouissantes et des verts et bleus plus subtils pour ses autres toiles. À cause de la fragilité des travaux sur papier, on expose une sélection changeante de seulement dix dessins.Les thèmes les plus importants y sont abordés, tels que l'incident de l'oreille, le suicide et la maladie mentale, la mort et la reconnaissance, la décoloration des peintures et les origines du Musée Van Gogh. En fin de parcours, à l'étage supérieur du bâtiment, se trouve une galerie où sont exposées les œuvres des disciples de Van Gogh.Bien que la présentation soit en essence chronologique, le corpus artistique a été arrangé selon des thèmes bien précis pour que le visiteur puisse suivre la recherche sans relâche d'un artiste extraordinaire.Dans ce guide, vous découvrirez ses chefs-d'œuvre ainsi que certaines des idées et des ambitions qui sous-tendent son art. Dans un souci de clarté, nous nous en tiendrons à une présentation chronologique, et présenterons les œuvres des autres artistes séparément.Après une brève présentation de la vie de Van Gogh et de son travail, l'ouvrage ne se contente pas de mettre en lumière des œuvres maîtresses comme Les mangeurs de pommes de terre, les Tournesols, les Iris et La Chambre de Van Gogh à Arles, mais il décrit aussi bon nombre de ses peintures les moins connues.Puisque Vincent Van Gogh et son frère Theo collectionnaient les œuvres de leurs contemporains, celles-ci ont aussi leur place au sein du musée. Le livre contient de nombreuses reproductions de Seurat, de Pissarro, de Toulouse-Lautrec, de Gauguin et de Bernard, de leurs prédécesseurs tels que Millet et Breton, et d'artistes qui ont suivi les traces de Van Gogh. Vous découvrirez ainsi le contexte, et l'impact que Van Gogh a eu sur l'art moderne.Lire ce livre avant une visite au Musée vous permettra d'apprécier pleinement et de comprendr
