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 In this thoughtful and unprecedented biographical history, Willem-Jan Verlinden delves into previously unpublished correspondence in the Van Gogh family archives to bring Vincent's three sisters out from their brothers' shadow, poignantly portraying their dreams,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. 600 10 Gogh, Vincent van,|d1853-1890|xFamily. 600 10 Gogh, Vincent van,|d1853-1890|vCorrespondence. 600 10 Gogh, Anna van,|d1855-1930|vCorrespondence. 600 10 Gogh, Elisabeth du Quesne van,|d1859-1936|vCorrespondence. 600 10 Gogh, Wil van,|d1862-1941|vCorrespondence. 600 17 Gogh, Elisabeth du Quesne van,|d1859-1936.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01483987 600 17 Gogh, Vincent van,|d1853-1890.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00032032 650 0 Artists|zNetherlands|vBiography. 650 0 Artists|zNetherlands|vCorrespondence. 650 7 ART / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 Artists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 Families.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01728849 651 7 Netherlands.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204034 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Personal correspondence.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919948 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Rosenberg, Yvette,|etranslator. 700 1 Monaghan, Brendan|c(Translator),|etranslator. 994 C0|bCKE
