A Story Most People Have Never Heard
Everyone knows the legend of Van Gogh. Few know the full story.
At the heart of Van Gogh’s life was a decades-long exchange of letters with his brother, Theo, filled with doubt, wonder, and unfailing devotion that made Van Gogh’s art possible in the first place. Now you can discover that bond firsthand. Guided by Johanna, Theo’s wife and the quiet force who carried Vincent’s legacy forward, you will piece together the story behind the paintings and discover that what we call genius was also, and always, an act of love.
Dear Van Gogh is their story, as much as his.
