The Mythology of Vincent van Gogh contains interviews with important film directors and actors; extensive lists of literary works, medical literature, films, dances, operas and music that in one way or another refer to the many myths surrounding Vincent van Gogh and his work. The contribution on forgeries reconsiders the authenticity of several works in private and public collections. Quite exceptionally, many of the forgeries or the so-called doubtful works are reproduced here in colour. The volume includes a bibliography, a chronological table and an index. The wealth of illustration and documentation, combined with its wide scope and the critical assessment of the many aspects of the mythology of Vincent van Gogh make this book an essential source for art historians, libraries, museums, art dealers, and anyone interested in Van Gogh's life and work.
