Van Gogh: a vida

Understanding his mental health seems central to his story, but I wonder what motivated this emphasis in the biography. Did it shape how the authors approached his life overall?

While I appreciated the context, some parts felt a bit dense. Was this intentional to deepen understanding of his work, or could it have been streamlined?

Van Gogh's catalog is vast, so choosing which pieces to emphasize must have been tough. I'm curious about their selection process and if it reveals new insights about his evolution.
