«Cartas a Théo» is Vincent van Gogh's epistolary book, published by Idea Books in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
The letters Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother Théo over twenty years form an intimate account of his life and artistic thought. The painter himself was aware of his value as a writer; this correspondence is read today as literature and not just as testimony. This edition reproduces forty drawings and sketches by the author.
The edition belongs to the Idea Universitaria collection, translated from Dutch by Francisco de Oraa and with a foreword by Fayad Jamís.
Of interest to readers of artist biographies, art history, and epistolary memoirs.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.
