{"product_id":"9781910065532","title":"Van Gogh: The Asylum Year","description":"\u003cbr\u003eOn May 8, 1889, Vincent van Gogh committed himself to the Saint Paul Asylum in Saint-Rémy, an isolated estate where he remained as a voluntary patient for a full year. Throughout this time, Van Gogh kept up a continuous correspondence with his brother Theo about his art, mental condition, hopes, and ambitions, along with his despair and sense of failure. His asylum year was Van Gogh’s most raw and desperate period, yet also his most creative, producing nearly a masterpiece a day. He painted many of his most famous works at the asylum, such as\u003ci\u003e The Round of the Prisoners\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Sorrowing Old Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Starry Night\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eVan Gogh: The Asylum Year\u003c\/i\u003e, Edwin Mullins offers a month-by-month account of that crucial penultimate chapter in Van Gogh’s life.
