Lust for Life
“He had a lust for life. Sometimes he was brutal, sometimes delicate – always he lived with insatiable passion!”
Overview
An intense and imaginative artist, revered Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh possesses undeniable talent, but he is plagued by mental problems and frustrations with failure.
