Synopsis

Van Gogh wrote many letters throughout his life, most of them to his brother Theo, and many to family members and other artists. Van Gogh also painted many paintings in his life, and basically every one of them was described in detail in his letters in poetic and beautiful language. In this newly translated collection of Van Gogh's letters, Anna Sui of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York carefully selected more than 150 letters from nearly a thousand letters, excerpting fragments in which Van Gogh described the creation and conception process of these works, as well as his unique views on many topics such as art, artists, literature, religion, landscape, etc., With the paintings mentioned in the letters and the original letters of the letters as reference, showing a different Van Gogh to all those who love Van Gogh. In this book, Van Gogh is not disturbed by the trivial matters of life, and there is no mental pain and pressure. Here, Van Gogh only belongs to painting, to art, to the golden wheat fields and the sky flying over the crows.

Reader comments

Great book, well worth a read if you are interested in Van Gogh. I always believe that if you want to truly understand a person, if you want to enter his world and understand his heart, you must read the words he writes. From the letters, you can see the world in Van Gogh's eyes, see his preferences, his progress, and his understanding, and you can also see the touching friendship between brothers. My favorite part is Van Gogh's own evaluation and interpretation of his paintings, which helps me appreciate the paintings better [Note]

This book is like a key that opens up Van Gogh's artistic world. His descriptions of the paintings in his letters made me feel like I could see the colors and lines flowing through his mind. I think of a friend of mine who loves painting. She once said: "Painting is a kind of expression and a kind of healing." Van Gogh's experience gave me a deeper understanding of her words. "I dream of painting, I paint my dreams." This sentence is not only the voice of Van Gogh, but also expresses the pursuit of many art lovers. This book allowed me to see a more real and pure Van Gogh.
