The significance of Van Gogh's confessional letters as a striking self-portrait of the artist is difficult to overstate. An outcast from society, an outcast from art, an outcast from personal happiness, Vincent shares his most precious thoughts: his innermost thoughts on creativity and purpose, love and faith, life and death. Van Gogh's epistolary legacy, dating back to his Dutch period, allows us to trace the unique path of the self-taught artist to the heights of mastery, to come to know him as a master of the brush and a great reader. Capturing scenes of peasant life filled with quiet beauty, the artist greedily absorbs the surrounding reality of his native land and reveals aspects essential to his artistic phenomenon: a subtle understanding of nature and profound psychological insight. The book's rich illustrations include Van Gogh's drawings, lithographs, and paintings and serve as a metaphor for the internal dialogue captured in correspondence with his brother and friends. The publication also includes works by Dutch and French masters who influenced the artist, such as Rembrandt, Joseph Israels, Jean-François Millet, and Charles-François Daubigny, as well as 19th-century photographs that recreate the atmosphere of the era.
