This book investigates a complex layer of mysteries and clues
concealed in van Gogh's paintings and biography. New points of view
on the painter's life are introduced and a foundation is laid for
the interpretation of the iconography within his work. The book
deduces from the painter's biography: a previously unexplored
interpretation of the final argument with Gauguin; the critical
role played by Rachel, la A"jeune filleA" d'Arles working in rue
des Recollets, in the final years of the painter's life; Theo's
role in quelling the scandal of the December 23rd ear amputation
and Gauguin's ensuing arrest; The author underscores his thesis
though a series of details in van Gogh's works, the painter's own
letters, and by re-visiting well known events in his life. This
juxtaposing of biographical facts with the psychological origins of
the works posits an exciting new thesis in "A Secret of Van Gogh:
His Motif and Motives" that will be of great interest to a wide
audience of readers.
