Two brothers, told through their letters

Deborah Heiligman’s biography places the relationship between Vincent and Theo Van Gogh at the center of their lives. Drawing on the 658 letters Vincent wrote to Theo, it traces their exchanges about relationships, work, setbacks, and ambitions, while showing Theo’s support as Vincent searched for his direction. The correspondence gives the book a clear organizing thread: a portrait of the brothers’ bond alongside an account of their individual lives. Its subject brings together family history, biography, and the Van Goghs’ connection to art.
