Van Gogh's Letters: The Mind of the Artist in Paintings, Drawings, and Words

This book is a compilation of the letters of Van Gogh, sharing over 150 intimate pieces of correspondence. Alongside the letters, paired are more than 250 works of art. An avid letter writer, Vincent would write hundreds of letters to his brother, many to his other family members, and many too to fellow artists. Verbose and in painstaking detailed, he often chronicles the progress of his work — all these newly translated for the Anglophone reader — set side by side with the art (be that completed or in progress pieces; drawings, sketches, or paintings) that he is alluding to. It provides insight into the personal life of the artist and his life experiences, the soft and the intense and the everyday.
