Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890)

This is just so neat I have to share it with you!

Imagine getting a letter from Vincent Van Gogh – in fact, imagine getting letters from him on an ongoing basis. Well, you can!

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has just completed a major project of collecting and collating all the letters he has written – some 6 volumes of correspondence! The project is called ‘Van Gogh’s Letters’. As of October, they started publishing the letters as a BLOG!!

Yup!! You can subscribe to the blog and receive letters from Vincent! They are fabulous. The posts are co-ordinated to the dates he wrote them – so it is like receiving a letter from ol' Vinnie himself. He even does doodles of the paintings he’s working on!

I have to warn you, though, that, as neat as it is to hear his thoughts and opinions on his work, he is not very good about answering back when you ask him a question!
