Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers by Deborah Heiligman
4.0
I am a huge van Gogh fan, I love learning about him. My house is FILLED with his art and books about him, so perhaps I'm biased. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I reserve 5 stars ratings for books that really sweep me off my feet.
This book was a really great insightful read. It truly focuses on the relationship Theo and Vincent developed, which is wonderful considering most works either just dissect their correspondence, noting their brotherly love for each other, or focuses on Vincent's mental health. I appreciated the hardship of their relationship being brought to light. Honestly, I loved being able to learn more about Theo through this read.
