"This 60-page miniature is the work of a master." – Le Magazine littéraire

The setting is Arles, when Vincent Van Gogh lived there in utter anonymity with his close friend Joseph Roulin, a postal worker and his model. Pierre Michon wished to view the world-renowned artist before his work, through the eyes of someone who knew nothing of art, but who was a friend to a Dutchman, impoverished and a painter to boot. A brief, brotherly, and sublime book.
