Also documented are Vincents close relationships with fellow artists, especially Paul Gauguin. The letters expose Vincents creative process his joy and inspiration derived from literature, Japanese art, and nature as well as his many romantic disappointments and constant poverty. This collection of letters, arranged in chronological order and written to Vincents closest confidant, his brother and art dealer, Theo, provide a riveting narrative of van Goghs life. Though Vincent van Gogh is often thought of as a mad genius, in The Letters of Vincent van Gogh the thoughtful, effervescent, and sensitive man is revealed to readers through his own voice.
