"By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven't yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it . . . ."
Vincent van Gogh |
 |
Vincent van Gogh on kuuluisa lähes 900 maalauksesta jotka hän teki kymmenen lyhyen taiteilijan vuotensa aikana. Hänen luonnoksensa ja vesivärinsä ovat myös tulleet erittäin tunnetuiksi. Kuitenkin on tärkeää muistaa, että Van Gogh teki myös muita, yhtä merkittäviä töitä, eri tavalla: kirje luonnoksina. Läpi koko taiteilijan uransa Vincent säilytti lämpimän ja rakastavan kirjeenvaihdon veljensä Theon kanssa. Moniin kirjeisiinsä hänen veljelleen (ja myös muille) Vincent piirsi luonnoksia kirjeisiin, tarkoituksenaan esitellä työnsä edistymistä.
Alla olevissa taulukoissa ovat kaikki Vincent van Goghin 133 kirjeluonnostelmaa listattuna. Nämä työt ovat monessa mielessä yhtä merkittäviä kuin Van Goghin kuuluisat öljymaalauksetkin. Niistä voi nähdä Vincentin jatkuvan kehityksen taiteilijana ja tarjoavat intiimin herkän katsauksen hänen osaamiseensa. Van Goghin kirjeluonnoksissa osoittautuu yllättävävää huomiota yksityiskohtiin ja jopa värienkäyttöön (katso esimerkiksi (see Honesty in a Vase. Lopputuloksena kirjeiden liikuttava tyytyväisyys ja ne herkät mestariteokset, jotka monet kirjeet sisälsivät, todella tekevät Van Goghin kirjeistä taidetta itsestään.
