First sentence: Although art historians have spent decades demystifying van Gogh's legend, they have done little to diminish his vast popularity.
Description: "Van Gogh and Gauguin explores the artists' intertwined lives from a psychoanalytic perspective, drawing a nuanced and sophisticated picture of the artists' dealings with each other. The book also examines the aesthetic convictions that united and divided the two men, and the extent to which they influenced each other's art."--BOOK JACKET.
