Barry, McCallion, Colophon: "Within twenty years of his death in 1890, extracts from Vincent Van Gogh's letters appeared in magazine articles, accompanied exhibitions, and were published as an edition by Ambroise Vollard. In 1914, Theo's widow, Jo van Gogh-Bonger, who managed the exhibition and sale of the paintings, edited a three volume work of Vincent's 'Letters to His Brother'. The paintings and the letters, together, made Vincent famous. "From an anthology of the artist's letters], I made selections which represented van Gogh's life and his development as a painter. I printed the selections on a light, cream, laid paper and loosely mounted them on semi-transparent, unbleached Abaca pages. Twenty-six paintings, variations on a theme of 'Starry Night', alternate with the letters. I made the paintings with Old Holland oil paint on prepared Richard de Bas paper."
