"If ever there was any doubt that Van Gogh's letters belong beside those great classics of artistic self-revelation, Cellini's autobiography and Delacroix's journal, this excellent edition dispels it."
--The Times (London) "Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all." Few artists' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent Van Gogh's, and the selection included here, spanning the whole of his artistic career, sheds light on every facet of the life and work of this complex and tortured man. Engaging candidly and movingly with his religious struggles, his ill-fated search for love, his intense relationship with his brother Theo and his attacks of mental illness, the letters contradict the popular image of Van Gogh as an anti-social madman and a martyr to art, showing instead that he was capable of great emotional and spiritual depths. Above all, they stand as an intense personal narrative of artistic development and a unique account of the process of creation.
The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing Van Gogh's inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life. This edition includes the drawings that originally illustrated the letters. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Van Gogh, Vincent
Vincent van Gogh nasceu em 1853 em Zundert, na Holanda. No ano seguinte nasce seu irmão Theo. Em 1869 começa a trabalhar em Haia na galeria Goupil & Cie., da qual seu tio era sócio. Depois de empregos nas filiais de Bruxelas e Londres da galeria, é demitido em 1876. Em 1877, após experiências como professor e livreiro, decide seguir a carreira de pastor e começa a estudar para ser aprovado na universidade de teologia. Em 1878 consegue uma licença como pregador livre em Borinage, distrito de mineradores no norte da Bélgica. Com a licença cassada, decide se tornar artista. Após um período na Holanda, chega em 1886 em Paris para morar com o irmão Theo, que assumira a gerência da Goupil na capital francesa. Em 1887 passa a viver em Arles, no sul da França, onde, por alguns meses de 1888, hospeda o pintor Paul Gauguin. Com o rompimento da amizade e a partida de Gauguin, corta uma parte de sua orelha esquerda. Em 1889 decide se internar no asilo Saint Paul de Mausole, em Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Ao longo do período, são constantes as crises nervosas que interrompem o trabalho do artista; mesmo assim, pinta cerca de 900 telas em seus nove últimos anos de vida. Em 1890 parte rumo a Auvers-sur-Oise para ser tratado pelo dr. Gachet. No mesmo ano, em julho, comete suicídio. |
