- Summary
- "When he died at the age of thirty-seven, Vincent van Gogh left a legacy of over two thousand artworks ...But [he] was also a prodigious writer of letters - more than eight hundred of them, addressed to his parents, to friends such as Paul Gauguin and, above all, to his brother Theo ... quite apart from furnishing a highly revealing self-portrait of their author, the letters are compelling both for their imaginative and expressive power and for the perceptive commentary they offer on universal human themes ... Grant illuminates gradual shifts in van Gogh's ideas on religion, ethics and art"--Publisher's description.
