Extra information about the notebook of Vincent Van Gogh you can find here: www.cmpublications.gr or www.eposmind.com
where you can buy the book with the full analysis of Vincent Van Gogh secret language.
For those interested in some very-informative background information concerning how and why, during the last seventy days of his life, Vincent van Gogh was able to produce over seventy incredibly-beautiful final masterpieces, the recent historical novel “The Last Van Gogh” (Penguin) by the internationally acclaimed author Alyson Richman provides some amazing insight. The author traveled to the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise on a number of occasions and meticulously researched the period during which Van Gogh lived there, even interviewing a number of the village’s elders, who knew his last muse, Magaret Gachet, the daughter of the homeopathic doctor who was treating Van Gogh at the time. It’s truly a wonderful novel, beautifully written and highly recommended. (It’s available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.) For anybody who loves Van Gogh’s works, this book should prove unbelievably fascinating. [Incidentally, Ms. Richman is also the author of the highly-reviewed novels “The Mask Carver’s Son” (Bloomsbury – 2000) and “Swedish Tango” (Simon & Schuster – 2004).]
The exciting new information about Van Gogh that Ms. Richman researched and incorporated into her fascinating new novel has already generated considerable interest and enthusiasm in lectures and discussion groups at fine art museums around the country, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Dayton Museum of Fine Art the Heckscher Museum of Art (in Huntington, New York) and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
I see a dentist made a visual comparison with the photograph that came with this sketchbook. Do you think he realizes he made a comparison using a photograph of a young Theo?
How would I find a good reproduction of the oval photograph, thought to be Vincent, on the WWW.
