For decades, he was a failed painter, poor, ridiculed, unstable, and nearly invisible to the art world around him. Then, after his death, Vincent van Gogh became something far greater than an artist. He became a legend.

The Cult of Van Gogh: How the World Turned an Artist into a Saint is a sweeping journey through the extraordinary transformation of Vincent van Gogh from forgotten outsider to global icon. Blending art history, cultural criticism, biography, psychology, and media history, this gripping work uncovers how critics, biographers, collectors, museums, filmmakers, and popular culture carefully constructed the mythology of the tortured genius the world reveres today.
