I dislike the way Gauguin underestimated Vincent. He seemed to be so annoying for Vincent with his vanity as senior painter. The book gives me a suspicion that Gauguin who cut off Vincent's ear. He should have lived longer then produced more great works, I wish he could see now that he's a great painter in history and sold the most expensive paintings in the world What a tragic life he has, never received happiness and poor during his lifetime but became popular after his death. SOUL,- find the essence of your design, not only design pretty stuff. This is what designers need to embrace when they do their work, good design is a design with a soul. He's genius and he's still young when he said that. Van Gogh: 'It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.' If I'm not wrong this is his word when he had a heated debate with Gauguin It's by far my most favorite book, I won't lend this book to anyone so then I can reread it whenever I want ), I'll put it on my precious collection. I have a little problem with rating stars, I can't give this book only a 5 star. (24 hours for almost 600 pages in Indonesian translation) This is a book I can read in less than 24 hours The Italian government lauded Stone with several honorary awards during this period for his cultural achievements highlighting Italian history. For example, he spent many years living in Italy while working on The Agony and the Ecstasy. Stone additionally did much of his research "in the field". It seems probable that Vincent's letters to and from his own brother Theo provided a foundation for Adversary in the House. Stone's main source for Lust for Life, as noted in the afterword, were Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo. During their lifetime, Stone and his wife funded a foundation to support charitable causes they believed in.
The Stones lived primarily in Los Angeles, California. Stone enjoyed a long marriage to his wife and editor on many of his works, Jean Stone. When at home, Stone relied upon the research facilities and expertise made available to him by Esther Euler, head research librarian of the University of California at Los Angeles, to whom he dedicated and thanked, in addition to many others, in several of his works. In the 1960s, Stone received an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Southern California, where he had previously earned a Masters Degree from the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. In 1923, Stone received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley.
