VINCENT VAN GOGH - THE LETTERS

A six-volume, slipcased set and a major publishing event:Van Gogh’s letters in their unexpurgated form, newly translated, with explanatory notes, and featuring more than 2,000 works of art to which the artist refers in his letters. Vincent van Gogh’s correspondence is renowned for its immense value as a human document and for its wealth of biographical and art historical information. The 900 letters that still exist tell the story of van Gogh’s quest for his vocation; of the close ties with his brother Theo, who gave him unconditional support; of his sometimes troubled friendships; of his longing for recognition; and, above all, of his passion for art and literature.
