Using his letters, Heenk gets us beyond the myths and misinformation of this master artist, whose life was tormented. We (the reader) get to look into his head and see the daily trials and tribulations of an artist who sought to be truth to his craft and his inner vision -- not cater to the marketplace. The art word eventually caught up with his gift, his keen eye and his sense of beauty.  But he suffered and struggled.  This compact book captures the heart, mind and soul of a man who was truly before his time.
