The letters of Vincent van Gogh lay bare the events of his dramatic life providing remarkable insight into the creative process and touching revelations of his personal anguish. They are reproduced in these three volumes with over 200 ink drawings that the artist sketched into them. Most of the letters were sent between 1872 and 1890 to the artists brother Theo and it was Theos son Vincent W. van Gogh who acted as consulting editor for this publication. A memoir by Theos wife serves as the introduction.
