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.
