Description:Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) gave the world not just an abundance of remarkable paintings and drawings but also the most intriguing and multifaceted correspondence of an artist ever known. The 902 letters, more than 800 of which are preserved in the Van Gogh Museum, tell the story of his eventful life in a direct, compelling style, detailing his close ties with his brother and confidant Theo, and the evolution of his work. For years now art historians, other interested parties and enthusiasts have been stressing the need for a text edition in which the letters are printed exactly as Van Gogh wrote them, without embellishment, modernisation, adaptation or omission. The Letters Project For the past 15 years the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Huygens Institute in The Hague have been working on a new scholarly text edition of this correspondence, an edition that meets the most demanding requirements of quality and scholarship. The result is a complete, modern edition of the correspondence for an international public which reflects the current state of knowledge and will be published both digitally and in book form. The Letters Project is the most ambitious undertaking ever launched by the Van Gogh Museum. It is unique in the breadth and depth of the research and the comprehensiveness with which the results are presented to the reader. The book and web editions will be vital sources for anyone wishing to learn more about Van Gogh. The innovations are as follows: - a new text as close to the original as possible - a full annotation of the letters - reproductions of all the works of art mentioned in the letters - new datings of the letters - a new English translation of the letters - a new French translation of the letters written in Dutch - a completely revised and edited Dutch translation of the letters written in French In the past few years the project has served as the basis for further research on Van Gogh's life and for other activities taking place in and outside the Van Gogh Museum, including several successful exhibitions. In 2007 the editors were responsible for the publication of the exhibition catalogue Vincent van Gogh: Painted with words. The letters to Emile Bernard (New York, The Morgan Library & Museum). The distinguished American author John Updike published an enthusiastic review of this publication in the New York Review of Books, calling it a 'model volume of scholarship'. The book edition The value of the new book edition over and above earlier ones lies first and foremost in the underlying principle of the Letters Project, which is to present Van Gogh's correspondence to the public as faithfully as possible. The 6-volume edition contains all the known letters from and to Vincent van Gogh, and is based on a close reading of the manuscripts. The letters are accompanied by an introduction, an explanation of the topics discussed and new datings. Every single work of art mentioned by Van Gogh is now reproduced in its context for the first time: not only the paintings and drawings that Van Gogh was working on but also those by other artists that he mentions. The book edition makes the letters accessible not only to a specialist readership of art historians and literary scholars but also to admirers of Van Gogh. They are now given the opportunity to read the letters in the correct version and in the proper art-historical context. The web edition There will also be a web edition of the letters. This English-language academic website will comprise all the known letters to and from Van Gogh in the original version, including images of the authentic manuscripts. The web edition differs from the book edition in the greater amount of scholarly information that is made available. The letters The worldwide reputation of Van Gogh's correspondence rests on its great value as a document humain and on its wealth of biographical and art-historical information. The letters tell the story of his eventful life, detailing his close ties with his brother and confidant Theo, and the evolution of his artistic skills, all in a direct, compelling style. The reader is made the witness to his dreams and disappointments, passions and struggles, friendships and arguments, the battle with his illness, and the overriding desire to make art that would stand the test of time. The total correspondence consists of 819 letters written by Van Gogh and 83 addressed to him. By far the majority were written to his brother Theo, who provided financial and moral support throughout the ten years of his career as an artist. Van Gogh also corresponded with other members of his family and with artist friends. Those relationships were on another plane from that with his brother, and the letters are consequently different in tone, content and style. The letters are not only an invaluable source of biographical data and information on Van Gogh's ideas about art and the career of an artist. The many sketches of his own works that ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
