Overview

Vincent van Gogh was an avid reader, frequently referring to the books he read in his correspondence, which comprises more than 900 letters. Van Gogh: A Literary Mind' is the first detailed study into this aspect of his life. The author uses more than 1,100 references to books from Van Gogh's letters by over 150 different authors. 'Van Gogh: A Literary Mind' is an intellectual biography in which these references are used to shed fresh light on the painter's life and work. The study is an intriguing analysis of the artist's voyage of discovery through reading, ranging from the Bible to Emile Zola, and looks especially at the influence of this literature background and milieu on his art.
