DESCRIPTION & REVIEWS
‘I have a certain faith in art, a certain trust that it’s a powerful current that drives a person – although he has to cooperate – to a haven …’
Vincent van Gogh’s steadfast passion for his work gave us a glorious body of paintings and sketches that demonstrate both his growth and his greatness. But his letters show something equally unique, a man who – despite considerable struggle – believed in the essential goodness of humankind.
The quotes and images in this book, selected from the Van Gogh Museum collection, illustrate beautifully his urge to artistic transcendence, and also show us the way to a greater sense of belonging, harmony and fulfilment of the soul.
‘But you must love with a high, serious intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence, and you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.’
