Lust for Life
Discussion Leader- Adrienne Lee
Saturday, July 21, 12 pm – 1:30 pm
Summer is a favorite time for reading and relaxing. Join Adrienne Lee for a discussion of the novel Lust for Life by Irving Stone. Lust for Life (1934) is a biographical novel written by Irving Stone based on the life of the famous Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh, and his hardships. It was adapted into a film of the same name starring Kirk Douglas, which was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning one. It is Stone’s first major publication and is largely based on the collection of letters between Vincent van Gogh and his younger brother, art dealer Theo van Gogh.
“A story of excruciating power.”—The New York Times
“Whoever reads Lust for Life will gain all the important facts concerning the life of the painter… a poetic and touching portrayal.”—Christian Science Monitor
“Extraordinary! A moving story retold with sensitiveness and insight.”—Forum
“Thorough, sympathetic, skillful.”—Saturday Review of Literature

What People Are Saying about Adrienne Lee
Adrienne is a delight. You can tell Adrienne loves art history and it comes through in her presentations. She makes it fun and interesting, never a dull moment. I really enjoyed the Frida Kahlo presentation. JC 4-1-17
I can honestly say I have not enjoyed an art lecture nor art lecturer as much since seeing videos of Rosamond Bernier at the Orlando Museum of Art. Now we have Adrienne Lee to carry on in this fine tradition of informing and entertaining. LL 3-27-17
I thoroughly enjoyed Adrienne Lee’s lectures on Frida Kahlo; they were educational, entertaining and thought-provoking. I look forward to attending the exhibit at the Dali on Friday armed with all this information and insight. SS 3-27-17
Adrienne is a masterful, knowledgeable,engaging lecturer whose passion for the subject shined throughout the lecture. You are lucky to have someone of her caliber at your fine establishment. SG 3-27-17
Adrienne Lee lectures with authority and wit! She has obviously delved deeply into the subject at hand to be able to give a 90 minute detailed lecture and field questions from the audience without a pause. Her delivery of facts and references is flawless…amazing. CP 3-26-17
