The art world was forever changed with Vincent Van Gogh's emergence. His vivid, emotional paintings captured the attention and admiration of many, even as the artist struggled with mental illness and financial instability. But behind every great artist is often an equally great supporter, and for Vincent Van Gogh, that person was Johanna Bonger. Johanna was more than Vincent's sister-in-law. She was a woman fiercely determined to champion Vincent's work, even when critics and collectors misunderstood or dismissed it. Her unwavering support was essential in preserving Vincent's legacy and securing his place in art. "The Courage of Johanna Bonger: The Woman Who Made Vincent Van Gogh Immortal" is a tribute to the woman who played a pivotal role in shaping Vincent's artistic reputation. Through letters, personal accounts, and historical research, this book delves into Johanna's life, her unwavering commitment to Vincent, and the challenges and obstacles she faced. From her liberal-minded upbringing to her eventual marriage to Theo van Gogh, this book explores Johanna's journey to becoming a driving force in preserving Vincent's legacy. The book also delves into Vincent's struggles with mental illness and how this impacted his relationships with others, including Johanna. Through the lens of Johanna's story, "The Courage of Johanna Bonger" offers a fresh perspective on Vincent Van Gogh and the enduring impact of his work. It celebrates the power of dedication and the courage to stand by one's convictions, even in the face of opposition. Ultimately, this book is a tribute to a remarkable woman who played a crucial role in immortalizing Vincent Van Gogh.Show book
The 67 essays in Truth and Fantasy explore diverse themes from different perspectives based on the author's and narrator's experiences. The essays are neither comprehensive nor meant to argue forcefully for any single viewpoint. Rather, they are meant to stimulate and inspire additional thoughts and ideas. Beginning essays include musings on random thoughts on the power of silence and neutral and indifference. Subsequent essays emerge from a lifelong career in biology research and touch on whether the ability to evolve is an evolutionary trait. Other essays argue that the nature of intelligence and aesthetics can be traced throughout the animal kingdom, including even so-called "mindless" invertebrates. Challenging subjects are covered in essays about the foundations and meaning of creativity, considering even the role of boredom and imperfections as sources of creativity. Other essays deal with ambition and the relative significance of the buried streams of time between the specific, visible, highlighted episodes in life. The essays include reflections relating competitive tennis to general issues of life, express gratitude for 50 years of marriage, the miracle of having children and grandchildren, the positive nature of kindness, the despondence of losing a treasured wedding ring, and relief when it's found; art: how it's valued, the significance of authenticity, the importance of ambiguity, and the experiences of amassing a world-class collection of Inuit sculptures. Essays describe uplifting experiences and broadening horizons by traveling to exotic places – Israel, Iceland, Greenland, Portugal, and West Africa – and the nostalgia of returning after 40 years to the science laboratories in Puget Sound as a writer instead of a science student. Finally, essays maintain that aging need not dampen ambition and creative efforts but do not ignore the inevitability of death and its value in defining the marvel and privilege of life.Show book
