The image of the great artist as a suffering visionary is a recent invention, observes sociologist Heinich -- an invention rooted in the canonization of van Gogh as a cultural hero for the 20th century. She explores how & why the impoverished & mentally tormented van Gogh came to be glorified shortly after his suicide at the age of 37. Did the secular art world need a rebel-saint of its own? Heinich explores the history of efforts to celebrate van Gogh, showing how the details of his life have been constructed according to the pattern of a Christian saint s rise to recognition. Examines the economics of the art market & the themes that make up the van Gogh myth. Hardcover, Ausgabe: Text is Free of Markings, Label: Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton Univ. Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1996-06-01, Studio: Princeton Univ. Press, Verkaufsrang: 3460140.

Heinich explores how and why the impoverished and mentally tormented van Gogh came to be glorified shortly after his suicide at the age of 37. Did the secular art world need a rebel-saint of its own? In considering this possibility, the author explores the history of efforts to celebrate van Gogh, whether in biographies or on T-shirts, showing how the details of his life have been constructed according to the pattern of a Christian saint's rise to recognition. These biographical details circulated first as anecdotes, then as historical truths, and finally became legendary motifs defining individual greatness. At the time of van Gogh's death, early modernists hailed the work of this self-taught painter as that of a reforming prophet. Public interest stirred when the unique and tragic aspects of the artist's personal life came to light. In these stories, the figure of Van Gogh oscillated between godlike asceticism (he lived on very little, did not get married, did not eat much, and devoted his life to his work) and demonic frenzy (he drank, he went to brothels, and offered a piece of his own flesh, his severed ear, to a prostitute). His legend became one of victim and sacrificer, of an accursed artist who gave the world great paintin.
