Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart |
What Art Teaches Us About the Wonder and Struggle of Being Alive |
"To read this book is to hover over the shoulder of Picasso, share a drink with Gauguin, and suffer heartbreak with van Gogh. You don't want it to end." —Jessica Hooten Wilson, Pepperdine University |
In Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart, Russ Ramsey digs into artists' stories for readers who may be new to art, as well as for lifelong students of art history, to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives. Each story from some of the history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face. |

Praise for Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart: |
"You might be an art expert who can see an entire history in a Rembrandt painting, an amateur who can't tell the difference between van Gogh and Van Halen, or somewhere in between. In any case, you will find in this book the best kind of education—the kind that doesn't feel like education at all. In classic Russ Ramsey fashion, the storytelling is gripping and the insights are surprising. After reading this, you will walk into your next museum, or gaze up at the night sky outside it, with very different eyes." |
—Russell Moore, editor in chief, Christianity Today |

In Russ Ramsey's follow-up to Rembrandt Is in the Wind, he offers more well-told stories of artists, which becomes a door flung wide to big and urgent questions about the things that matter most. Among this book's many contributions are the realizations that great creativity can sometimes emerge from great sorrow and that we who also ache can therefore take comfort in the gestures, symbols, colors, and stories of great art. |
—Byron Borger, owner of Hearts & Minds Bookstore |

"I learned so much about the artists in Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart that I hadn't known before—the perseverance and long-suffering of Artemisia Gentileschi or the civil rights advocacy by Norman Rockwell—but it was the way Russ Ramsey personally opened up about the paintings that allowed me to see them better. To read this book is to hover over the shoulder of Picasso, share a drink with Gauguin, and suffer heartbreak with van Gogh. You don't want it to end." |
—Jessica Hooten Wilson (PhD, Baylor University), the Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University |
