Even though Van Gogh’s pictures are beautiful in themselves, their true genius lies in what Vincent was trying to say. The letters between he and brother Theo provide unprecedented insight into his thinking process and his emotional turmoil.

Vincent was not only an artistic genius, he was also an intellectual giant and very much ahead of his time.

There are numerous examples in his correspondence predicting exactly how his art would come to be appreciated and precisely the magnitude of that appreciation.

He not infrequently discusses how he would some day lead the entire world to a new way of seeing, feeling and expressing.
