The Letters of Vincent van Gogh (Penguin Classics)

The Letters of Vincent van Gogh (Penguin Classics)
This thorough collection of van Gogh’s letters has been assembled with an artful eye and sensitivity to the artist’s thinking. The result is an atypical take on Vincent van Gogh that avoids putting too much stress on his troubled mental state and too much straining by the editor to shape a narrative out of van Gogh’s epistolary clues. Instead, we see the thoughtful and contemplative side of this creative genius, as well as his concern for the impact his art and life had on those people closest to him.
Customer Review: intimate look into the artistic process
this collection of van gogh’s letters to his brother Theo both captivated me and broke my heart. Such an intimate look into the vulnerability of the artistic soul. Those who appreciate the artistic process will love this collection of letters. You don’t need to be an admirer of Van Gogh’s to appreciate this; but you will walk away admiring the man behind the sunflowers.
Customer Review: The greatest letters ever written by an artist
Van Gogh is a tremendously powerful letter- writer. In these letters mostly written to his brother we see a great , suffering , soul, a devoted artist tormented and striving. This may all sound like ‘cliche’ but Van Gogh is perhaps the most conspicuous example of the cliche of the suffering , rejected in- his- life artist who knows great recognition only after death.
Van Gogh is a person of great intelligence, and of a very strong conscience. There are no greater letters I think ever written by an artist.And while they may be filled with a troubled and agonized spirit they too have a great richness of feeling and appreciation of life.
