Letters to Friends
Van Gogh created over forty self-portraits. «It is difficult to know oneself. However, to write about oneself is no easier», — he said. Van Gogh turned out to be a talented master not only of the brush but also of...
the pen.
Literally every evening after working on the canvas, he would sit at a table and write long letters to his relatives and friends. After his death, the letters were found. Without exaggeration, they can be called the best self-portrait of the famous artist. This is a monument of literature that is equal in value to Van Gogh's artistic legacy.
He maintained an epistolary dialogue with Paul Gauguin, Anton van Rappard, Émile Bernard, and others.
In his correspondence, the great artist shared his thoughts, discoveries, and ideas.
All his letters to friends are marked by a special confessional tone and depth of inner drama, as well as open a door into the world of this genius madman.
