Hardcover: 784 pages
Publisher: Yale University Press; Abridged edition (December 2, 2014)
What a wonderful book! Filled with his sketches and just so many letters that he wrote over the years. I haven't read the whole thing yet, and I am so looking forward to reading a little at a time and stretching this pleasure out as long as I can. The book is a lot larger than I expected and makes a decent coffee-table volume. I got it very quickly, in fact so quickly I was quite surprised at the speed. This would be a great Christmas gift for art lovers!

I bought this in December because I wanted to learn more about Vincent, Vincent's letters to his brother Theo are very interesting to read. I like how Vincent describes the still life object he used for the paintings and includes sketches of the paintings in his letters. The book comes with scans of some of Vincent letters that contain sketches of his paintings. I love it! Note: Bookmark not included.

This book is a lot to read and sometimes it gets tiring but we need to understand it for what it is--it is not a novel- it is a compilation of letters. After reading the book, I felt I understood Vincent Van Gogh better than I ever have. He didn't seem as crazy as his reputation and I find him to be an inspiring artist who painted as a way of self expression whether his art was accepted at the time or not. I also thought Theo, in his capacity as Vincent's art supporter and sponsor, was steadfast and loyal and that in the end Vincent's paintings created a financial legacy that supported Theo's family after Theo died. Theo was there for Vincent during his lifetime and Vincent provided for Theo's family after their deaths. Wow. I'll bet Vincent's mother wished she hadn't thrown any of Vincent's paintings away.
