Abstract

This edition includes the more than 100 letters the artist Isaac Israëls (1865–1934) wrote to Jo van Gogh-Bonger (1862–1925). Jo was married to Vincent van Gogh’s brother Theo and, following both brothers’ demise, took responsibility for preserving their legacy.

Israëls writes with great candour and verve about art, literature, music, love and friendship. He had a keen interest in Jo and her tribulations and enjoyed their time together. But he was also fascinated by Vincent’s work, as he frequently expresses in his letters.
