Thank you for the shout-out! I’m currently reading a slender biography of Van Gogh that’s really good. It’s called Van Gogh: A Power Seething by Julian Bell. Recommended!
Oh wow, thanks for including me in this Raphy. Honestly I'm so grateful. And as a jazz lover, it's probably the only time I'll get be mentioned in the same place as some of my greatest jazz heroes! Loving the biography recommendations in the comments too :) BBC2 recently ran a great series on Frida Kahlo called 'Becoming Frida' with some superb video footage I'd not seen before.

This is excellent. Apologies for only just discovering you. Just the sort of curiosity I love. I’ll be back for more!
I recommend the Sheryl Crowe and Go-Go's documentaries. I also enjoyed listening to Bono's memoir on audiobook.
A real Jazz Master!

I’m also a David Lynch fan, and I saw “The Art Life” a few years ago- along with his book Consciousness, Creativity, and Catching the Big Fish
