Title: VINCENT VAN GOGH : Ever Yours : The Essential Letters
Author: Jansen, Leo ; Hans Luijten ; Nienke Bakker (eds)
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780300209471
Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, in association with the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 2014. 26cm., hardcover, 784pp., 95 color illus. Summary: In addition to his many remarkable paintings and drawings, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) left behind a fascinating and voluminous body of correspondence. This highly accessible book includes a broad selection of 265 letters, from a total of 820 in existence, that focus on Van Gogh’s relentless quest to find his destiny, a search that led him to become an artist; the close bond with his brother Theo; his fraught relationship with his father; his innate yearning for recognition; and his great love of art and literature. The correspondence not only offers detailed insights into Van Gogh’s complex inner life, but also re-creates the world in which he lived and the artistic avant-garde that was taking hold in Paris. The letters are accompanied by a general introduction, historic family photographs, and reproductions of 100 actual letters that contain sketches by Van Gogh. Selected from the critcally acclaimed (and now out-of-print) 6-volume set of letters published by the Van Gogh Museum in 2009, this book is the essential book on Van Gogh’s letters, which every art and literature lover needs to own.
