Narration Conducive To Books Cartas a Theo
Este libro proporciona las claves de la vida y la obra de Van Gogh a traves de una seleccion de las cartas que el propio Vincent escribio a su hermano Theo. Se trata de la autobiografia espiritual y artistica de un genio de la pintura que siempre vivio en precario, entre la locura y la miseria, pero que gracias a su obra se encuentra hoy en el cenit de la gloria. Desde 1872 hasta 1890, ano de su muerte, Van Gogh escribio mas de ochocientas cartas, casi todas dirigidas a su hermano Theo. Es un epistolario excepcional que constituye, por encima de todo, la autobiografia de un artista vehemente que desnuda su alma y expone ilusiones y proyectos como si quisiera, al mismo tiempo, ensenarnos a mirar un cuadro. De alguien que se definio a si mismo como un ser B"con una hoguera en el pecho a la que nunca se acerca nadie a calentarseB." De un trabajador infatigable que, en el espacio de diez anos, produjo ochocientos setenta y nueve cuadros, mil setecientos cincuenta y seis dibujos y ochocientas veintiuna cartas: una obra plastica y literaria que, en particular la segunda, nos da la clave de su vida. De un pintor que regalaba sus obras, que vivia del dinero que le enviaba su hermano Theo, que en toda su vida solo vendio un cuadro y que ahora, mas de cien anos despues de su tragica muerte, tiene esas obras batiendo marcas. Seleccion significativa de ese epistolario, la presente antologia constituye tambien la cronica de un capitulo fundamental de la historia de la pintura.Specify Regarding Books Cartas a Theo

The Hague, 29 September 1872.My dear Theo,Thanks for your letter, I was glad to hear that you got back safely. I missed you the first few days, and it was strange for me not to find you when I came home in the afternoon.We spent some pleasant days together, and actually did go for some walks and see a thing or two whenever we had the chance.What terrible weather, you must feel anxious on your walks to Oisterwijk. Yesterday there were trotting races on the occasion of the exhibition,2 but theDear TheoThe Autobiography of Vincent van GoghEdited by Irving StoneThis is a good book to readbut it would be better if you have Vincent van Gogh (VG)s art handy.

I've spent several months with the letters of Vincent van Gogh. They have given me access to a mind that was passionate, sensitive, erudite, and, above all, brilliant. Van Gogh died two days after writing the final letter to his brother. "Dear Theo" is a moving collection of letters that reveals the depth of love, tenderness, and respect between two brothers. This edition isn't perfect. I'd like to have seen each letter dated. More context and biographical information would have been helpful.
It's July, still. Just for a couple of days more. According to the official calendar today it's 29th July, 2018. I had to look into the phone app as I don't keep any paper calendar in my room [and I don't trust my harddisk on weekends] and going to the kitchen would have cost me changing my present comfortable writing position. I was reading a letter dated July 1880. So, again with the precious help of the calculator app inside the phone, I am able to capture the time gap between my present and
Simply beautiful. The way he describes what he sees gives you a glimpse into how he composes his paintings. He views landscapes in patches of color and harmonies. It makes me want to view the world this way. Here is a random example of what I mean: "I am making a study of a red sun between the little birches on a marshy meadow, from which the white evening damp rises; beyond the meadow one can just discern at the horizon a bluish-grey line of trees with a few roofs."This book is also very sad.
This is probably not something for the casual art fans who have gathered a summary of van Gogh's life from various library collections of his works. In fact, the first four hundred pages can be a rather "more of the same" struggle for Vincent's loyal devotees even though he is an excellent writer.Then, the unfortunate illness begins to take control and Vincent actually becomes a more likable human being. It is also worth noting that during this last year, even as he was shuttling between
