Lust for Life (1934) is a biographical novel written by Irving Stone and is based on the life of the famous Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh.

It was adapted into a film of the same name starring Kirk Douglas, which was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning one.

It is Irving Stone's first major publication and is largely based on the letters Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. Irving also conducted a large amount of "on-field" research as is mentioned in the afterword of the book.

The book is famous for the way it describes the origins of many of Vincent's famous paintings like The Potato Eaters, Sunflowers and others.
