About this listen
He died broke, bleeding, and unknown. Now he’s priceless. Van Gogh: A Life in Color, Pain, and Immortality isn’t your typical artist biography. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a man we turned into a myth — and what we lost when we did. This book peels away the poster boy tragedy, the swirling clichés, and the pop-culture memes to reveal the real Vincent: a failed preacher, a frantic letter-writer, a man who lived on bread crusts and absinthe — and painted like the stars were screaming.
Through breakdowns, sunflowers, asylum walls, and 900 paintings in a decade, Van Gogh’s story isn’t just about madness or genius. It’s about what happens when the world isn’t ready for someone too awake. If you think you know Van Gogh, this book will ruin the museum version — and leave you with something far more human, haunting, and holy.
