‘The most important documents connected with modern art in existence’ – Andrew Forge, New Statesman

'A self-portrait in prose as remarkable as any of those that van Gogh put on canvas' - John Russell, The Sunday Times

Vincent van Gogh’s letters to his brother Theo, other family members and friends such as fellow artists Gauguin and mile Bernard are renowned for being the most passionate body of correspondence ever written by a painter. Giving a wealth of insight into the artist’s character and state of mind, these three volumes contain all the existing letters with reproductions of the drawings with which they were illustrated.

Most of the 650 letters were written between 1872 when Vincent was nineteen, and the year he died, 1890. All have been annotated and translated with the help of Theo’s son. The reproductions include self-portraits and sketches, and in addition there are introductory essays and a memoir of the artist written in 1913 by Theo’s widow.

Please note that this is the 1979 edition including all the letters then known.
'Vincent van Gogh – The Letters: The Complete Illustrated and Annotated Edition'
