A review by mveldeivendran
The Vincent Van Gogh Atlas by Teio Meedendorp, Nienke Denekamp, René Van Blerk

4.0

"I can't do nothing about it if my paintings don't sell. The day will come, though, when people will see that they're worth more than the cost of the paint and my subsistence, very meagre in fact, that we put into them."

These words were spoken by Vincent to his brother Theo which proved to be right. Though Vincent managed to witness his contemporaries appreciate his art works, he didn't live to see the people all over the world admire and appreciate his paintings.

This Book is a real good work from the collections of his paintings, pictures of the various places he lived and about his travels, and letters to his friends and his beloved brother Theo Van Gogh. I loved the illustrations and descriptions of the various places and the circumstances which he tried hard to survive.

"The Sadness Will Last Forever", atleast whenever i happen to hear the name, Vincent Wilhem van Gogh.


I'm grateful to Netgalley and Yale University Press for this free copy for my review.
