Among the memoirs, letters, and diaries left to us by great artists, the letters of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) occupy a prominent place. They are astonishing human documents, testifying to the immense work and spiritual content behind each painting of this unrecognized genius. Van Gogh's letters, read by generations, bear the imprint of the author's extraordinary literary talent. This edition includes the artist's letters to friends: Paul Gauguin, Anton van Rappard, Émile Bernard, and others.
