description: Perhaps the most beloved and recognizable modern artist, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), unlike any other major painter, was an accomplished writer. His letters provide both an unique self-portrait and a vivid picture of the contemporary cultural scene... Through them Van Gogh emerges as a complex but captivating personality, struggling with utter integrity to fulfill his artistic destiny. This major new edition... is expressly designed to reveal his inner journey as much as the outward facts of his life. Whenever possible, it includes complete letters linked by passages of connecting narrative and showing all the pen-and-ink sketches that originally went with them.
