Advice for the Soul : Vincent van Gogh

Quotes from Van Gogh's letters and his lesser known images, extracted from the Van Gogh Museum collection, illustrate beautifully Van Gogh's artistic development, and his search for a deeper sense of belonging and fulfillment in life.

Newcomers to Vincent and Theo Van Gogh''s letters are often overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the emotional advice, familial and romantic love and artistic endeavour detailed within. But their letters are almost impossible to appreciate in their sheer volume. This series has been created in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum to create an accessible route for visual inspiration seekers into the writings and wide range artworks of Van Gogh. A beautiful follow on to books in the series about creativity and nature - this focuses on relationships, advice, artistic community and support. Uniquely, this beautiful little volume also includes images from the Van Gogh Museum by artists that Vincent and Theo themselves collected and traded pictures and letters with, from Paul Gaugin to Toulouse Lautrec. A rich, life-enhancing, spiritually inspiring treasure of a book.
