[audiobook] Technical Management for the Performing Arts: Utilizing Time; Talent; and Money by Mark Shanda; Dennis Dorn at Arts-Photography

Description

Vincent van Gogh continues to fascinate more than a century after his death in 1890. Yet how much of what is commonly known about this world-renowned artist is accurate? Though he left thousands of works and a trove of letters; the definitive Van Gogh remains elusive. Was he a madman who painted his greatest pieces in a passionate fury or a lifelong student of art; literature and science who carefully planned each composition? Was he a loner dedicated only to his craft or an active collaborator with his contemporaries? Why is he best known for self-mutilation and ldquo;The Starry Nightrdquo;? This book has biographers; scriptwriters; lyricists; actors; museum curators and tour guides; among others; presenting diverse interpretations of his life and work; creating a mythic persona that may; in fact; help us in the search for the real Van Gogh.
