Vincent van Gogh’s letters have long been prized as some of the most valuable documents in the world of art. Together they form an impassioned autobiography that illuminates his paintings and his life in equal measure. Here, in his own words, we learn about Van Gogh’s close ties with his brother Theo, his sometimes volatile relationships with friends and fellow artists, his hopes, doubts and fears, and above all his all-consuming devotion to his art. Selected by the editors of the complete annotated letters and illustrated with original manuscripts, sketches and paintings, this edition offers an extraordinary window into the life and mind of a great artist.
