520 8  The lively and revealing correspondence that Vincent van 
       Gogh maintained with his art-dealer brother Theo is famous
       as a source of insight into the mind of one of the most 
       celebrated artists of all time. But what of Anna, Lies and
       Willemien van Gogh, with whom Vincent had intimate and 
       sometimes turbulent relationships? It was an argument with
       his oldest sister, Anna, in the aftermath of their 
       father's death that provoked Vincent to leave the 
       Netherlands and never return. The Van Gogh siblings grew 
       up at a time when long-distance travel by train first 
       became possible. As each went their own way, following 
       work and study to London, Paris, Brussels and beyond, they
       maintained the close relationships forged in their youth 
       in the Netherlands's idyllic countryside by sending candid
       and personal letters. In this thoughtful and unprecedented
       biographical history, Willem-Jan Verlinden delves into 
       previously unpublished correspondence in the Van Gogh 
       family archives to bring Vincent's three sisters out from 
       their brothers' shadow, poignantly portraying their dreams,
       disappointments and grief. The oldest sister, Anna, worked
       as a governess in England as a young woman before marrying
       a Dutch industrialist. The second sister, Lies, fell into 
       poverty in spite of her literary aspirations and was 
       forced to sell many of her brother's paintings. Willemien,
       the third sister, was an active participant in the first 
       feminist wave. She visited the studio of Edgar Degas in 
       Paris with Theo and discussed art enthusiastically with 
       her painter brother. She and Vincent also shared their 
       struggles with mental health, which for Willemien resulted
       in institutionalization for the second half of her life.
