The Letters Of Vincent Van Gogh - Vincent Van Gogh

A Selection Of Post-impressionist Painter Vincent Van Goughs Letters, The Letters Of Vincent Van Gogh Put A Human Face On One Of The Most Haunting Figures In Modern Western Culture. In This Penguin Classics Edition, The Letters Are Selected And Edited By Ronald De Leeuw, And Translated By Arnold Pomerans In Penguin Classics.few Artists' Letters Are As Self-revelatory As Vincent Van Goghs, And This Selection, Spanning His Artistic Career, Sheds Light On Every Facet Of The Life And Work Of This Complex And Tortured Man. Engaging Candidly And Movingly With His Religious Struggles, His Ill-fated Search For Love, His Attacks Of Mental Illness And His Relation With His Brother Theo, The Letters Contradict The Popular Myth Of Van Gogh As An Anti-social Madman And A Martyr To Art, Showing Instead A Man Of Great Emotional And Spiritual Depths.
