Letters of Vincent Van Gogh

This selection presents Vincent van Gogh's correspondence, written mainly to his brother Theo and also to family and fellow painters, from the Dutch years through Paris, Arles, Saint-Remy, and Auvers. The letters discuss money, pigments, religion, Japanese prints, and the pictures on the easel, and they record illness, hospital stays, and dependence on Theo's allowance. They form a working journal of how the paintings were made, not a finished aesthetic treatise. The volume is a letter collection, not a novel and not a catalogue raisonne of the canvases.

Quarter-bound in grey blocked cloth with picture printed Modigliani paper sides. Script printed blue slipcase.
