Vincent is almost as famous for writing these letters as he is for painting the sun flowers.
梵高因為這些信件的出名程度幾乎等同于他畫向日葵的出名程度。
There is so much insight here into his creative thinking, but the very first letter was just a brief note about the weather scribbled to Theo from the Haig in Sep 1872.
我們可以洞察到梵高許多的創新思想。但就是在1872年9月,在海格的梵高給提奧寫了第一封信,不過這封信簡短而潦草,只是討論了一下天氣而已。
Theo was a couple of years younger than Vincent, but he also decided to become an art dealer while Vincent was here.
提奧比梵高小幾歲,當梵高還在海格的時候他也想成為一名藝術品商人。
They hoped one day they might work together.
他們想也許某天可以一起工作。
On the 17th March 1873 a rather glum Vincent wrote to Theo that he was going to be moved.
然而在1873年3月17日,梵高難過的寫了一封信給提奧,內容是自己將要被調走。
It was another promotion, he had done so well in The Hague that he was being sent to London,he was 20.
這是又一次晉升,由于梵高在海格的工作做得很好,公司將要把他調到倫敦。而那一年,梵高年僅20歲。
