Item description from seller

Three unmarked volumes in clean blue cloth with bright gilt decoration to the spines. Each of the three spines show vertical buckling even though the text is still snug to the backstrip. In a blue slipcase with repaired (reglued) edges. Volume 1: lxvii+ 559 pages. Volume 2: 625 pages. Volume 3: 625 pages; 7.5 X 6 X 10 inches; 1809 pages; The collection presents annotated English translations of hundreds of letters Vincent van Gogh wrote, mostly to Theo (his closest confidant, supporter, and art dealer) , as well as letters to other family members, friends, and fellow artists. The correspondence begins when Vincent was working in a gallery in The Hague and continues through his years of religious and artistic searching, his time in Paris, Arles (including the period with Gauguin) , the asylum at Saint-RÃ my, and his final months in Auvers-sur-Oise. The letters reveal van Goghâs inner life in extraordinary detail: his struggles with poverty, mental illness, and artistic ambition; his theories about color, composition, and the purpose of art; his admiration for predecessors such as Millet; and his daily experiences of painting, loneliness, and occasional moments of joy. More than 200 of the ink sketches he included in the original letters are reproduced throughout the volumes. It has long been regarded as a landmark in art literature because of the candor, intensity, and literary quality of the writing.…
