A treasure trove of carefully selected letters written by great
artists, providing unique insight into their characters and a
glimpse into their lives. Artists' Letters is a collection of
intriguing, entertaining, moving, significant, surprising, witty
and insightful correspondence from great artists. Arranged
thematically, it includes writings and musings on love, work, daily
life, money, travel and the creative process. On the theme of
friendship, for example, letters provide evidence of a creative
community between peers, with support and mutual appreciation that
helps to dispel the myth of the artist as solitary genius. Letters
between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin show an ongoing
conversation and exchange of ideas. We see mutual admiration
between Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, and Picasso's quick notes
to Jean Cocteau illustrate their closeness. Letters, some of which
includes sketches and drawings, are reproduced with the transcript
and some background and contextual information alongside. Artists
include: Salvador Dali, Goya, Lucian Freud, Vanessa Bell,
Michelangelo, Mondrian, Gustav Klimt, Jasper Johns, Edward
Burne-Jones, William Blake, Marcel Duchamp, Dorothea Tanning, Paul
