He was part of the coterie of great artists of his day while as the same time an intimate of aging streetwalkers. “Written from the heart and without restraint, alive.”—The New York TimesVincent van Gogh, the great but tormented artist, bared his tortured yet ecstatic soul in his letters to his confidant and companion, his beloved brother Theo.
