Artists' Letters: Leonardo da Vinci to David Hockney

Product Information

For example, Pierre Bonnard, at eighteen, writes a long letter to his father explaining why he has transferred from art school to law school. The Illustrated Provence Letters of Van Gogh engages with the mind of the artist, reflecting his close bond with his brother and closest companion Theo, his relationship with fellow artists and friends, his ongoing struggle with mental illness, and his passion for art. This fascinating book’s combination of deeply personal letters alongside rough sketches and finished paintings gives an intimate insight into the painter’s domestic life in Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, his spiritual torment and the creative process. This bundle includes: Simon, which is now in the archives of the New York Public Library. This personal and engaging book reproduces over 100 letters from the most famous 19th and 20th century painters in Paris between 1855 and 1968. Among the artists are Claude Monet, August Renoir, Edouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Mary Cassatt. Looking to get into or improve your hand lettering?
