Description

Product Description Vincent van Gogh's letters have long been prized as some of the most valuable documents in the world of art. Not only do they throw light on Van Gogh's own complex and intriguing character, they enlighten the whole creative process through his eyes. Van Gogh's entire existing correspondence has been newly transcribed and translated, correcting previous mistranscriptions, and is now to be published in the most complete edition ever produced, illustrated extensively throughout, and drawing on fifteen years of scholarship and dedicated research. For the first time, all the works to which Van Gogh refers will be shown alongside the letters - not only the paintings and drawings that he himself was working on at the time, but also the works by other artists that he saw and about which he writes so passionately. Sketches that Van Gogh made throughout the letters themselves are all reproduced here at actual size. In over 900 letters we can observe Van Gogh's thoughts and opinions at first hand, as well as his close ties with his brother Theo, his sometimes troubled relationships with friends and fellow artists, his personal doubts and fears, and above all his overriding passion for his art. This ediotion is not only an exemplar of scholarly endeavour at its highest level, it also provides a lasting pleasure as a personal written testimony to a life consecrated to art. Review "Twenty years' worth of his letters, published in a spectacular illustrated six-volume edition . . . are the longest, warmest, most attentive account of an artist's life seen from the inside that has ever been written."--Adam Gopnik "New Yorker" From the Back Cover Een rijkelijk geïllustreerde overzichtswerk in zes delen (hardcover met stofomslag, zes delen in cassette.) Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) liet de wereld een van de meest fascinerende kunstenaarscorrespondenties na. De 900 brieven, ongeveer 820 door en 80 aan Van Gogh, vertellen in een directe, meeslepende stijl het verhaal van zijn bewogen leven, van zijn hechte band met zijn broer en vertrouweling Theo, en van de ontwikkeling van zijn werk. In 2009 wordt vijftien jaar onderzoek naar de correspondentie van Vincent van Gogh afgesloten met een wetenschappelijke website met de volledige onderzoeks-resultaten, de publicatie van een zesfdelige boekuitgave in drie talen, en een bijzondere tentoonstelling in het Van Gogh Museum. Gedurende deze vijftien jaar heeft het Van Gogh Museum samen met het Huygens Instituut gewerkt aan een nieuwe wetenschappelijke uitgave van de briefwisseling van Vincent van Gogh: een volledige, moderne uitgave die de huidige stand van kennis weerspiegelt en die zowel digitaal als in boekvorm zal verschijnen. De brieven zijn voorzien van nieuwe dateringen en van annotaties die betrekking hebben op alles wat voor de hedendaagse lezer verheldering behoeft: identificatie van alle genoemde personen, kunstwerken en literaire werken, en verheldering van cultuurhistorische, biografische en kunsthistorische achtergronden. De vele honderden kunstwerken die Van Gogh noemt en bespreekt worden afgebeeld, zodat zijn autodidactische kunsthistorische vorming voor een belangrijk deel in kaart gebracht wordt. Zo komt de rijke visuele wereld van Van Gogh tot leven. About the Author Hans Luijten (1961) studied Dutch Language and Literature at the University of Utrecht and was a teacher in Literature of the Renaissance and Classicism for ten years at the same university. His 3-volume dissertation on the emblem book Sinne- en minnebeelden by the famous poet Jacob Cats (1577-1660) was published in 1996 and was awarded the Kruyskamp Prize in 2000 by The Society of Dutch Literature at Leiden. He has written several articles on seventeenth-century literature and on Vincent van Gogh, published an anthology of Dutch emblems, and worked as an editor of illustrations for several books. He has been one of the editors of the Van Gogh Letters Project sin
