The importance of Van Gogh's Confessions as the artist's most vivid self-portrait can hardly be overestimated. An outcast from society, an outcast from art, an outcast from personal happiness, Vincent shares the most precious things: his innermost thoughts on creativity and purpose, love and faith, life and death.
Van Gogh's epistolary legacy from the French period allows us to trace both the impact of the Impressionists' working methods on the artist's work and the formation of a distinctive symbolism of colors and writing techniques, as well as to understand the ideological content of his most famous paintings. The rich illustrative range of the book includes drawings and paintings by Van Gogh and serves as a metaphor for the inner dialog recorded in his correspondence with his brother and friends. It also includes works by the recipients of the messages, Emile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, and French masters who had a significant influence on the artist, such as Eugène Delacroix, Jean-François Millet, and Adolphe Monticelli, as well as 19th-century photographs that recreate the atmosphere of the era.
