<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><br> A literary classic, <i>The Letters of Vincent van Gogh Captures</i> the voice of one of the most beloved and important artists of all time. <br> </b> <br> Though Vincent van Gogh is often thought of as a mad genius, in <i>The Letters of Vincent van Gogh</i> the thoughtful, effervescent, and sensitive man is revealed to readers through his own voice. <p/> This collection of letters, arranged in chronological order and written to Vincent's closest confidant, his brother and art dealer, Theo, provide a riveting narrative of van Gogh's life. The letters expose Vincent's creative process; his joy and inspiration derived from literature, Japanese art, and nature; as well as his many romantic disappointments and constant poverty. Also documented are Vincent's close relationships with fellow artists, especially Paul Gauguin. Van Gogh's tender and often ebullient letters provide a sharp contrast to the devastating and frequently violent mental breakdowns that plagued and eventually destroyed him. <p/> Collected and edited by art historian Mark Roskill, this volume also includes a chronology, a short memoir by van Gogh's sister-in-law that fills in many of the blanks of Vincent's early years, and reproductions of selected artwork discussed in van Gogh's letters. <p/> An epistolary classic, <i>The Letters of Vincent van Gogh</i> is not just an important historical collection but also a captivating treasure.
