Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh : 5 September 1889 » Home < Previous Next > Letter from Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh Saint-Rémy, 5 September 1889 Relevant paintings: "Irises," Vincent van Gogh [Enlarge] "Starry Night over the Rhone," Vincent van Gogh [Enlarge] Letter T 16 Paris, 5 September 1889 My dear Vincent, You gave me great pleasure by writing me a letter; when one knows nothing one is inclined to think things are worse than they really are. It is bad enough in itself that you have had a crisis, but fortunately I see from your letter that at present you are feeling better. The view from your window - which you give a sketch of - ought to be very fine; in Paris one is sometimes dying for a look at the real countryside - at least you have a fragment of it at your disposal. In the environs of Paris you never see any peasants, and in truth I no longer know the harvest times for wheat and potatoes. It is a fact that in town you meet people who are certainly interesting too, but at times you have had enough of it, and so, as long as you cannot go there, a picture of the true countryside does you good, and ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/T16.htm · 18.8k |

Firstly, that you have rented a room in Tanguy's house and that my canvases are there, which is very interesting - provided you aren't paying too much for it - the expenses go on all the time and the canvases still take so long to bring anything in - it often frightens me. Be that as it may, I'm sure it's a very good step, and I thank you for taking it, as for so many other things. It is ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/604.htm · 34.7k |

I therefore thank you very much for the second kind letter you wrote me. I think both you and Mother did right to leave Breda after Cor went away - it is certain that we ought not to let grief accumulate in our heart like water in a turbid pool. It is true that I have a profound feeling at times that my mind is turbid indeed, but this is a disease; for persons who are active and in good health, however, it is certainly necessary to do what you have done. As I told ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/W14.htm · 21.8k |

Thank you once more for the lovely etching after Rembrandt. I would very much like to know the picture and to know in which period of his life he painted it. All this goes - along with the “Portrait of Fabritius” in Rotterdam, the “Traveller” of the Lacaze Gallery - into a special category in which the portrait of a human being is transformed into something luminous and comforting. And how different this is from Michelangelo or Giotto, though the latter nevertheless comes near it and thus Giotto forms as it were a possible link between the school of Rembrandt and the Italians.

And that J. H. Weissenbruch knows & does the muddy towpaths, the stunted willows, the foreshortenings & the skilful & strange perspectives of the canals, ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/605.htm · 34.8k |
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh : c. 5 April 1889 » Home < Previous Next > Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh Arles, c. 5 April 1889 Relevant paintings: "La Crau with Peach Trees in Blossom," Vincent van Gogh [Enlarge] My dear Theo, A few words to wish you and your fiancée all happiness these days. It is a sort of nervous affliction with me that on festive occasions I generally find difficulty in formulating good wishes, but you must not conclude from that that I wish you happiness less earnestly than anyone else, as you well know. I have still to thank you for your last letter, as well as for the consignment of paints from Tasset and for several numbers of Le Fifre with drawings by Forain. These last especially had the effect on me of making me see my own stuff as very sentimental beside them. I waited several days before answering, not knowing which day you were leaving for Amsterdam. Besides I do not know either if you are getting married in Breda or in Amsterdam. But if as I am inclined to think it will be in Amsterdam, then I have assumed that you would find this letter there by Sunday. By the way - ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/19/583.htm · 17.5k |
Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh : 18 September 1889 » Home < Previous Next > Letter from Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh Saint-Rémy, 18 September 1889 Letter T17 Paris, 18 September 1889 My dear Vincent, I have put off replying to your last letter, as I had hoped to meet Father Pissarro. He has gone back home now, but intends to return to Paris shortly. When Father Tangui and I had a talk, we already touched upon the question of whether there might be a means of bringing about the arrangement you speak of, but then there came the death of his mother, so that it was not the right moment. Last year De Haan wanted to go and stay with him, but then he said that he didn't have enough room, and he went to look for accommodation at the houses of his neighbours, but in vain. I spoke about it with Jouve, who promised me to be on the lookout for an arrangement, for staying with him is impossible through lack of room. But he has got his studio. He gives the impression of being better off now that he has found work as a decorator. He is a man with a lot of common sense. But as regards what is essential - to know whether your health is ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/T17.htm · 15.4k |

I particularly like the last one, which is like a bouquet of flowers in its colouring. It has a very great intensity of colour. The wheat field has perhaps more poetry in it; it is like a memory of something one has once seen. Tangui is framing it at the moment, and on January 3 everything will go to Brussels. Now there is something which gave me a lot of pleasure. Mr. Lauzet, the lithographer of Monticelli's pictures, came to see me at my home. He came to see ours, and he thought them very fine. As regards the flowers, he doesn't think he can reproduce them, for the slabs are monochrome, and he doesn't think he will be able to render the effect of that ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/T22.htm · 18.6k |

There are moments when one's feelings are clear, but sometimes it is difficult to form an idea of what has taken shape in one's thoughts and what is still in a state of vagueness. I am also not sure of being able to write you in the way I should like to today, 1 but my letter will be sent off anyway, if only to let you know that we think of you often, and that your last pictures have given me much food for thought on the state of your mind at the time you did them. In all of them there is a vigour in the colours which you have not achieved before - this in itself constitutes a rare quality - but you ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/T10.htm · 17.2k |
