After Three Days in the Life of Paul Cézanne and Three Nights in the Life of Berthe Morisot, Mika Biermann returns to painting. In this marvelous little work, the writer this time takes on the figure of Vincent van Gogh.
Three moments in Vincent's life are marked by three women: Saskia, the little goose girl, during his childhood; Agostina, his short-lived companion, model for the painters "of the Butte", owner of the Tambourin café and who leaves him that day; and finally Gabrielle, a pretty peasant girl from Auvers-sur-Oise whose dog has just been slaughtered by scoundrels, the very day of the painter's death.
Avoiding the hagiographic trap, Mika Biermann here relegates Van Gogh to the background of supporting roles to showcase these women he meets.
