"If Van Gogh had never become the painter that he was, he might well be remembered as one of the greatest of nineteenth-century letter writers. His letters were copious as well as brilliant, amounting in one edition to four volumes, and from this mass of material Mr. de Leeuw has selected a progression of those that chronicle the artist's zigzag path, of failed jobs, futile enterprises, and impractical schemes, to suicide and greatness....Vincent van Gogh has taught a lot of us to see. His letters, and Mr. de Leeuw's superb editing, permit us to see him."

Phoebe-Lou Adams, Atlantic Monthly, October 1996

"Most surprising, beyond how fresh and relevant the letters seem, even 100 years latter, is the sophistication and vividness of van Gogh's prose. Letter after letter sizzles with colorful, exacting descriptions of books and paintings, landscapes and people he intended to paint."

Andrea Barnet, New York Times Book Review, 01/19/1997
