Van Gogh's True Colours
Tracey Yuille


We present an article by Tracey Yuille on the the collection of letters of Van Gogh ranging from 1875 until his death in 1890.

ABSTRACT
A graphologist can only analyse and interpret frozen snapshots in time. However, the collection of letters ranging from 1875 until Vincent van Gogh’s death in 1890, takes us on a journey through the latter stages of the artist’s life and means we are able to piece together a personality profile in chronological order – not only from the perspective of the content of the correspondence, but by analysing the text itself. In essence, each piece of handwriting is rich in revealing the character, both conscious and unconscious of the man.
