{"product_id":"vincent-van-gogh-a-selfportrait-in-art-and-letters","title":"Vincent Van Gogh: A Self-Portrait in Art and Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout his life  Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) wrote hundreds of letters  many to his brother Theo. Theo acted as patron  agent  and sounding board to the artist whose life was fraught with poverty  a struggle for recognition  and alternating fits of madness and lucidity. Van Gogh also corresponded with other family members and fellow artists  including his dear friends Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard. His letters  originally collected by Theos wife  Johanna  exhibit Van Goghs genius  his depth of observation  and his feelings in their most naked form.  In Vincent Van Gogh these letters have been excerpted  newly translated  and set side-by-side with more than 250 of his drawings and paintings. Van Goghs words and art illuminate each other and reveal a portrait of the artist as never seen before. The commentary of H. Anna Suh frames Van Goghs work and puts his art  letters  life  and struggles into rich context. The result is this timeless jewel of a collection  unlike any other Van Gogh book that has gone before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949554036789,"sku":"ByrdShop_1579125867","price":91.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781579125868.jpg?v=1770079907","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vincent-van-gogh-a-selfportrait-in-art-and-letters","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
