Van Gogh's Letters
Van Gogh's Letters: The Mind of the Artist in Paintings, Drawings, and Words, 1875-1890 | Vincent Van Gogh
16 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS. A beautifully illustrated book which pairs Van Gogh's passionate letters to family and friends with his paintings and newly popular drawings. They exhibit the artist's genius and depth of observation and feeling in its most naked form. Here, they have been excerpted and re-translated and set side-by-side with his drawings and paintings from the same period, 1875-1890.

I am incredibly fortunate. I have lived 33 years and had so many opportunities and experiences. My family is generous and supportive. My friends are kind and patient. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this platform who has liked, commented, emailed, or wrote me. I appreciate the birthday wishes. You are all lovely people. #litsylove #books

Joshua and I went to the Van Gogh immersion thing in Boston last week and it was heavenly! I am hoping to post pics on my instagram soon, but have been so busy and overwhelmed by life!

Van Gogh was born on this day in 1853. I saw an article recently that Van Gogh‘s letters were starting to get more attention and that makes me happy. The Houston Museum of Fine Arts has an exhibit until June and a friend and I have plans to attend - this makes me even happier.

When one needs retail therapy one goes to the thrift shop and buys an antique book shelf and lamp for $27.

Ahhhhh... that's better!

I was so amazed by some of his lesser known work. Also the love of the process and how hard he worked at creating his masterpieces...

Now to watch “Vincent and the Doctor” and cry :)

jpmcwisemorgan That one clip from that episode - where they have Van Gogh at the museum, makes me cry every time. 5y
jpmcwisemorgan I just watched it again today and then went into a rabbit hole of sad Doctor Who moments. 5y

I didnt know the museum had such a collection of books!

kspenmoll Where are you? What museum? 5y

tournevis That's what's great about museums. Many many of them have research libraries. Many have research archives. I've done research in several. It's our academic secret! Most require that you reserve a spot in advance though, and explain why you need to use them. 5y
rather_be_reading @tournevis this was in their museum store so no reservation needes 5y

"How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone."

A compliation that reveals the inner struggles of an extraordinary artist that evokes curiosity, inspiration and sadness.
