History and imagination fuse in a fictional narrative of van Gogh’s sojourn in Arles
Camille accompanies van Gogh, he gradually gets to know the man and the genius behind the great artist.
Award-winning professor and author Norman Beaupré presents a unique look into the life of Vincent van Gogh. The Boy with the Blue Cap: Van Gogh in Arles narrates van Gogh’s eighteen-month sojourn in Arles through the eyes of the city’s postmaster’s clever young son.
In the biographical novel, young Camille Roulin strikes a friendship with a visiting artist, Van Gogh, whose exploits takes him into an exploration of the city’s picturesque landscapes, lights, and colors. As Camille accompanies van Gogh, he gradually gets to know the man and the genius behind the great artist.
A professor of French and French impressionism, Beaupré takes interest in van Gogh’s time in Provence, a region in southern France. In The Boy with the Blue Cap, Beaupré imagines the artist’s life in Arles to uncover the inspiration that spurred van Gogh to produce three hundred artworks. He blends historical facts and fiction to “produce a colorful work of the man, the artist, and his concept of art as seen through the eyes of a young boy” who grows into a passionate love of art through the artist’s influence.
