Vincent van Gogh is often considered a tragic figure, yet he created works of genius. Shimmering with intense light and color, his paintings rejected the naturalism of Impressionism. Instead, Van Gogh preferred bold, intense colors that conveyed emotion. He worked feverishly and created more than 2,000 paintings, drawings, and sketches in his last 10 years. Only one of these sold in his lifetime, but he was certain the world would one day appreciate his art. This calendar's 12 paintings survey the range of his work in landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and flower studies. Each is paired with a passage from Van Gogh's letters.

As the 19th century comes to a close, Friedrich Nietzsche and Vincent van Gogh unknowingly traverse proximate geographical terrain, nearly circling one another like close but distant stars as the philosopher wanders between Nizza, Sils Maria, and Torino, and the painter wanders between Paris, Arles, and Saint-Rémy. In the midst of their philosophical and artistic pursuits, simultaneously, the Eiffel Tower, symbol of artistic progress and industrialization, begins to rise in Paris amidst clamors of protest and praise.Through intertwining letters written to (& sometimes by) friends, family, and others, the philosopher and painter are brought into ever-greater proximity as we witness their daily personal and artistic struggles. Woven between and interrupting this panoply of voices are a series of intervals, short illuminating blasts, like a camera's exploding flash powder, of artistic, scientific, political, and other events spanning 1888 to 1890, drawing Nietzsche and Van Gogh in and out of the wider expanses of history.As construction of the Eiffel Tower comes to completion in Paris and Elisabeth Förster, the sister of the philosopher of the will to power, tries to found a utopic race colony in South America, the lives of Nietzsche and Van Gogh come to their terrible denouements. Her brother now a full-fledged zombie, the former queen of Nueva Germania seizes the reins of his living corpse and rides him into the future.With no deus ex machina in sight, and none possible, WWI and the terrors and the beauties of the 20th century crack the horizon.

Allerede i 1908 utkom den første boken med Vincent van Goghs utvalgte brev, og siden er de blitt lest fra Tyrkia til England og fra Portugal til Russland. Bare i Norge er de hittil ikke utgitt. Det er ikke mindre enn en sensasjon at dette nye utvalget nå endelig foreligger på norsk.Van Goghs brev er som en usensurert selvbiografi - de tar for seg livet, kunsten, drømmene og nederlagene. De er visuelle og poetiske, kunnskapsrike og litterære. Maleren viser seg som en intelligent og følsom forfatter. Van Gogh er blant de kunstnerne som skriver aller best om sitt liv og virke. Brevene viser hvordan han over en periode på under ti år klarer å utvikle seg som kunstner, og hvordan han på under fem år maler alle de bildene som vi kjenner og verdsetter så høyt i dag.Men det skjedde ikke uten kamp. Han slet med å finne sin vei som ung og var gjennom dype religiøse grublerier før broren Theo, som skulle bli hans viktigste støtte, penset ham inn mot malingen. Deretter slet han med alt fra økonomi til alvorlige psykiske problemer. Samtidig malte han det som skulle erobre verden først etter at han hadde tatt livet av seg 37 år gammel i Auvers-sur Oise i 1890.Boken "Å skrive livet" inneholder hans fineste brev og 110 originale skisser 1872-1890. Tildelt sølv i Årets vakreste bøker 2015."Et enestående verk, og en makeløs utgivelse. (...) Skaff deg denne boka. Gi den bort til jul. Du finner ikke noe vakrere eller mer innholdsrikt denne sesongen."Fredrik Wandrup, Dagbladet "Vincent van Goghs samling brev til sin bror Theo er virkelig en av bokhøstens perler."Fartein Horgar, Adresseavisen "Vincent van Goghs brev kjem for første gang på norsk. Ei bok som utvidar, opnar og ladar van Goghs kunstverk på nye måtar. Minst like mykje som biletkunst, handlar breva om ordkunst og om å lære seg kunsten å leva. (...) Å skrive livet er vakker, både fordi ho er utstyrt med van Gogh-måleri i fargar og brevskisser der dei var lagt inn. (...) Dei utvalde breva hans er ei bok å gå i hi med i mørke haust- og vinterkveldar."Arnhild Skre, NRK"Brevvekslingen mellom Vincent og Theo van Gogh er blant de vakreste, mest rørende og komplekse i brevskrivingens historie. De gir leseren et innblikk, ikke bare i en stor malers forestillingsverden, men i et menneskelig følelsesmessig landskap som ofte er neglisjert: søskenkjærlighet." Siri Hustvedt"En fantastisk utgivelse av Vincent van Goghs brev på norsk stikker kniv i slangen rundt vår klisjé om den «gale» kunstneren - han som levde «utenfor» og «avsondret» fra den daglige verden."Olav Egil Aune, Vårt Land
