www.vangoghpaints.net Dear Theo, Thanks for your letter and the enclosed 50 fr., which were as welcome as ever, the former as well as the latter.

Van Gogh Letters. The Hague, c. 10 April 1882 - www.vangoghpaints.net
www.vangoghpaints.net Dear Theo, Today I have mailed you a drawing which I send to show my gratitude for all you have done for me during what would otherwise have been a hard winter.

Van Gogh Letters. The Hague, early April, 1882 - www.vangoghpaints.net
www.VanGoghPaints.net Dear Theo, I have sat down to write you several times, but I couldn’t bring myself to finish the letter. The reason was that I wanted to write about several things which had made me think the necessity of your becoming a painter so very evident. But what I... Continue reading

Van Gogh Letters. 25 Bedford Street, Strand, London, 6 April 1875 - www.vangoghpaints.net
www.VanGoghPaints.net Dear Theo, Thanks for your letter. I copied in your little book “Meeresstille” [Calm Sea] by Heine, didn’t I? Some time ago I saw a picture by Thijs Maris that reminded me of it. It represents an old Dutch town with rows of brownish-red houses with stepped gables and... Continue reading

Van Gogh Letters. Etten, 4 April 1876 - www.vangoghpaints.net
www.VanGoghPaints.net Dear Theo, On the morning before I left Paris, I received a letter from a schoolmaster in Ramsgate. He proposed that I go there for a month (without salary). At the end of that time he will decide whether I am fit for the position. You can imagine how... Continue reading

Van Gogh Letters. Brussels, 2 April 1881 (part 2) - www.vangoghpaints.net
www.vangoghpaints.net I wrote back that I was not at all astonished at his misconstruing my letter in this way because you yourself had spoken one time of “living on my rents.” And as I now gather from the tone of your letter that you no longer see my difficult position... Continue reading

Van Gogh Letters. The Hague, 30 March - 1 April 1883 - www.vangoghpaints.net (part 1)
www.vangoghpaints.net Dear Theo, By chance I have at last seen something of Lhermitte’s – a very careless reproduction in wood engraving. It represented a little old woman in a church pew. A girl was kneeling beside her. However imperfect the reproduction may be, it gave me some idea of his... Continue reading

http://ping.fm/OWkxB My dear Theo, You have so often afforded me a glimpse of Paris with your descriptions, this time for a change I am giving you a glimpse out of my window at the snow-covered yard. I am adding a glimpse into a corner of the house, and they are... Continue reading

www.vangoghpaints.net (part 1 - http://ping.fm/ormmP) Now, in looking over my studies, when we came to the diggers, he spoke quite differently of them than he did last winter; at least, he wasn’t so quick to say, “This or that isn’t right.” I myself didn’t mention them at all this time....
