The scholarly edition of the complete correspondence of Vincent van Gogh, with detailed notes, can be found at A six-volume book edition is available in three languages (Dutch, English and French): Vincent van Gogh – The Letters. Van Gogh had a rich and evocative style not only in Dutch but also in French, a language he began using in his letters in 1888, when he lived in southern France.Īround 350 letters written by Van Gogh and others are now accessible in The Memory, along with a selection of his paintings and drawings, various documents, and many photos, all from the collection of the Van Gogh Museum. He also used writing to express his ideas about subjects such as art and his development as an artist. For Van Gogh, however, it was more than that. Illustrated with original manuscript letters, sketches, paintings, and photographs of correspondents, this book brings Van Goghs story and work to life. Had van Gogh been only a mediocre artist, these letters would have assured him a place in literature, for they are written with a power, intensity. In Van Gogh’s day, letter-writing was the primary means of exchanging news. ![]()
