Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers by Deborah Heiligman

5.0
Deborah Heiligman crafted an excellent, readable narrative of the Van Gogh brothers. Like the author, the letters between Theo and Vincent stood out to me when visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The brothers' story is deeply moving as they navigate challenges and figure out their relationship. I gained a greater appreciation for Vincent's art and the great effort his sister-in-law Jo took to make sure his name was remembered long after his lifetime.
