The life of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a shooting star, which forever changed the sky of art. From his native Holland to Auvers-sur-Oise, passing through London, Paris and Arles, the painter produced an unprecedented pictorial work, misunderstood by his time. A meditation on existence, love and art, his letters—halfway between a diary and an imaginary museum, an artistic manifesto and a sketchbook—belie the image of a cursed and crazy artist.
