The World According to Vincent van Gogh

A collection of quotes from Vincent van Gogh on art, love, nature, color, ambition, friendship, future, sorrow, and consolation.Vincent van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo form what is perhaps the most frank and unique body of artists' correspondence ever written―one that offers a rare insight into Van Gogh’s mental turmoil and artistic motivations. His descriptions of everyday concerns are interspersed with highly intense passages, beautiful sentences, and wise words on subjects such as ambition, love, loneliness, and his battle with mental illness. These surprising, melancholy, and sometimes funny comments continue to inspire and console many people today, some 130 years after he wrote them.
