About the Book
The Letters of Vincent van Gogh offers a deeply personal and insightful look into the life of one of the most renowned and tormented artists in modern Western culture. Selected and edited by Ronald de Leeuw, with translation by Arnold Pomerans, this Penguin Classics edition brings together a selection of Van Gogh’s letters, spanning his entire artistic journey.
These letters shed light on Van Gogh’s personal struggles with religion, love, mental illness, and his close relationship with his brother, Theo. They reveal a man far removed from the image of the "mad artist" and instead highlight his profound emotional and spiritual depth, along with his relentless pursuit of artistic expression.
Accompanied by explanatory biographical passages and original drawings that illustrated the letters, this edition provides a comprehensive understanding of Van Gogh's evolution as an artist. It is a rare and intimate glimpse into the mind of a visionary, making it an essential read for art lovers and those interested in the life behind the masterpieces.
