by Vincent Van Gogh, Alfred Nemeczek

The Letters of Vincent van Gogh (Penguin Classics)
"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.

Ever Yours: The Essential Letters
"There is scarcely one letter by Van Gogh which I, who am certainly no expert, do not find fascinating." —W. H. Auden
In addition to his many remarkable paintings and drawings, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) left behind a fascinating and voluminous body of correspondence. This highly accessible book includes a broad selection of 265 letters, from a total of 820 in existence, that focus on Van Gogh’s relentless quest to find his destiny, a search that led him to become an artist; the close bond with his brother Theo; his fraught relationship with his father; his innate yearning for recognition; and his great love of art and literature. The correspondence not only offers detailed insights into Van Gogh’s complex inner life, but also re-creates the world in which he lived and the artistic avant-garde that was taking hold in Paris.
The letters are accompanied by a general introduction, historic family photographs, and reproductions of 87 actual pages of letters that contain sketches by Van Gogh. Selected from the critically acclaimed 6-volume set of letters published by the Van Gogh Museum in 2009, Ever Yours is the essential book on Van Gogh’s letters, which every art and literature lover needs to own.

Van Gogh: Up Close
by Vincent Van Gogh, Cornelia Homburg, Philadelphia Museum Of Art., National Gallery Of Canada
An entirely new perspective on the genius of Van Gogh, revealing for the first time the artist’s approach to nature through his innovative use of the close-up view
This sumptuously illustrated book offers a completely new way of looking at the art of Vincent van Gogh, by exploring the artist’s approach to nature through his innovative use of the close-up view. Focusing on the last years of the artist’s career—from 1886 until his death in July 1890—an international team of leading scholars in the field examines Van Gogh’s radical approach to the close-up and sets it in the context of contemporary and historical references, such as his hitherto unrecognized use of photography and his fascination with the Old Masters and with Japanese art and culture.
One hundred key paintings dating from his arrival in Paris in 1886 to the end of his career show how Van Gogh experimented with unusual visual angles and the decorative use of color, cropping, and the flattening of his compositions. In some paintings he zoomed in on a tuft of grass or a single budding iris, while depicting shifting views of a field or garden in others. Van Gogh: Up Close not only reveals how these paintings became the most radical and innovative in the artist's body of work but also demonstrates that, far from being a spontaneous or undisciplined artist, Van Gogh was well aware of the history of art and was highly conscious of his efforts to break new ground with his work.

Lettres à son frère Théo (French Edition)
"La première lettre de Vincent Van Gogh à son frère Théo, datée d'août 1872, est envoyée de La Haye. Il a dix-neuf ans. Il ne sait pas qu'il va peindre. La dernière lettre, inachevée, Théo la trouve dans la poche de Vincent qui s'est tiré une balle dans la poitrine le 27 juillet 1890 à Auvers-sur-Oise. Des dizaines de toiles encombrent sa chambre. Presque quotidiennement, pendant dix-huit ans, Vincent a écrit à Théo. Et Vincent écrit à propos de tout à Théo comme il lui envoie toutes ses toiles. Il lui montre ce qu'il peint comme ce qu'il est. Ces lettres incomparables - des récits, des aveux, des appels - sont nécessaires pour découvrir le vrai Van Gogh devenu mythe... Il n'est pas un peintre fou. Au contraire, solitaire, déchiré, malade, affamé, il ne cesse d'écrire, lucide, comme il traque la lumière." Pascal Bonafoux.

Vincent van Gogh 2020 Wall Calendar
In a letter to his younger brother and patron, Theo, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853 1890) once wrote, I lose absolutely nothing by staying where I am and being content to watch things pass, as a spider waits in its web for the flies. Van Gogh s painting in his last few years, a notoriously conflicted period punctuated by hospital stays and spent mostly in the south of France, reflects this ability for observation. And whether the subject was a vase of flowers, a field of billowing grasses, or an orchard in peak bloom, his paintings consistently display their trademark vibrancy. Each month of this calendar pairs a Van Gogh painting with a selection from his letters. All of Pomegranate s calendars are printed with soy-based inks on FSC® certified paper, which means the paper has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® and manufactured by an FSC certified printer.

Van Gogh 2018 Wall Calendar
Writing to his sister Willemina from Provence, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853 1890) offered a self-portrait in prose: My complexion has changed from green-greyish-pink to greyish-orange . . . and I am always very dusty, always more bristlingly loaded like a porcupine, with sticks, painter s easel, canvases and further merchandise. Only the green eyes have remained the same. Though he spent it in poverty and poor health, that first summer in the south of France may have been the happiest period in a life often disrupted by anxiety and disappointment. Each month s painting in this calendar is accompanied by an apt passage from Van Gogh s letters.
