Dear Theo

The intimate correspondence offers a unique glimpse into van Gogh's thoughts and struggles. I wonder if the author chose to focus on this aspect to highlight the personal side of his art journey.

His words often reveal vulnerability and hope amidst hardship. It made me think about how artists channel their inner turmoil into their work—what about others' experiences resonated?

Seeing his paintings in context with his personal correspondence added a new layer of understanding. I'm curious whether this approach was planned from the start or evolved during editing.
