Sinossi
«Caro Theo...»: dall’agosto 1872 fino al 27 luglio 1890, due giorni prima di morire, Vincent Van Gogh scrisse al fratello con una costanza che trova il solo termine di paragone nell’amore che egli nutriva per lui. Da sempre interlocutore privilegiato dell’artista, nonché il primo a riconoscerne la grandezza, per lungo tempo Theo fu l’unico a cui Vincent confidò le pene della mente e del cuore. «Se non avessi Theo» scriveva, «mi sarebbe impossibile dedicarmi al mio lavoro; ma poiché mi è amico farò ancora progressi e continuerò.» Queste lettere ci permettono di seguire, quasi quotidianamente, la vicenda artistica e umana del grande pittore e costituiscono, ancora oggi, il miglior viatico per un approccio alla sua incredibile produzione. Un’altissima testimonianza morale, una professione di credo estetico forse senza eguali in tutta la storia dell’arte.

An extraordinary document! What other inner view of a great artist's creative processes and life do we have like this one? ( The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini perhaps, but it is boastful precisely where Dear Theo is introspective, materialistic where Dear Theo is threadbare, highly social where Leggi tutto
I finished reading Irvine Stone's Lust for Life within one day like finishing a page turner, but I spent long time to read Dear Theo - letters of Van Gogh - each time I turned the page, I heard myself saying: slow down, take time, and digest every word slowly, as if the sooner I finished reading, th Leggi tutto
It's July, still. Just for a couple of days more. According to the official calendar today it's 29th July, 2018. I had to look into the phone app as I don't keep any paper calendar in my room [and I don't trust my harddisk on weekends] and going to the kitchen would have cost me changing my present
Vincent Van Gogh'un Ocak 1873'den Temmuz 1890'a kadar kardeşi Theo'ya yazdığı mektuplarından oluşan eser. Mektup en sevdiğim türlerden biri. Yapısı gereği, okuyucuyu yazanın iç dünyasına çok çabuk buyur ettiğinden ve olanı biteni sansürsüz ilettiğinden vurucu olduğunu düşünürüm hep. Theo’ya mektuplar Leggi tutto
Mektup okumanın ayrı bir tadı var. Hikaye/roman okumak; yazar-kitap-okur olarak bir rüzgar gülünün rüzgarda dönen yaprakları olmaksa Mektup okumak karşılıklı ip çeviren iki kişinin ortasına izinsiz atlamak gibi.. biraz aykırı bir keyfi var. İlk defa bir ressamın (sadece ressam diyerek onun çilekeş, do Leggi tutto
شاهدت قبل أيام قليلة وثائقي عن ڤنسنت ﭬان غوخ, وأكثر ما لفت انتباهي وقتها هو حياته الصعبة التي قادته إلى الانتحار في النهاية, ليموت فقيرًا, معدمًا - وهو الذي بيعت لوحاته بملايين الدولارات فيما بعد - منبوذًا من مجتمعه, مجنونًا في أعينهم. حياة بائسة, مضطربة, لم يخفف منها إلا الرسم و وجود شقيقه الأصغر "ث Leggi tutto
This is probably not something for the casual art fans who have gathered a summary of van Gogh's life from various library collections of his works. In fact, the first four hundred pages can be a rather "more of the same" struggle for Vincent's loyal devotees even though he is an excellent writer. Th Leggi tutto
This book is in serious need of a re-read. I read this when I was about thirteen, and aspiring to be an amazing artist. Vincent Van Gogh fascinated me. I never really loved his art (shhh) but the mad, passionate artist appealed to me. And can you get any madder, any more passionate than Vincent? I a Leggi tutto
It feels a bit strange that this book is finally over. It took me longer to read than most books and still I feel like the end came quite quickly. But then again, isn't that exactly the case with his life? I read this book to learn more about van Gogh as a person and I must say that I was surprised. Leggi tutto
La sensibilità, non solo artistica; la coscienza dei propri limiti; le difficoltà economiche; le ombre della personalità; un'ingenuità genuina; e una caparbietà rara, da animale da tiro, contro tutto e tutti. Si passeggia con un senso di pudore dietro le quinte del genio, per trovare scintille. Leggi tutto
