Vincent letters to Emile Bernard [manuscript]

“Painted With Words: Vincent van Gogh’s Letters to Émile Bernard” at the Morgan Library & Museum, a display of manuscripts, also includes nearly two dozen paintings and drawings, half of them by van Gogh, including a splendid self-portrait.
It was done before he moved south. With his red hair and beard, taciturn lips and untrusting eyes, you already know him on sight. And you will come to know him in some depth in a show that is itself a self-portrait in many parts.
— Holland Cotter


Vincent van Gogh wrote some 800 letters in his lifetime. This letter was written on March 18, 1888 to Emile Bernard, whom he treated as a younger brother and mentee.
