Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890); perhaps the most beloved artist in the world; was motivated by a deep spiritual vision; first expressed in his ambition to become a missionary and minister; and later; after his decisive break with organized religion; through his art. In art he found a new way to express his solidarity and compassion for humanity; and to awaken people to the sacred depths of reality. Though virtually nobody in his own lifetime understood his intentions or appreciated his work; van Gogh poured out his convictions in letters to his brother Theo. Drawing largely on these letters; examples of his drawings; and her own reflections on the interplay between his life; his spiritual vision; and his art; Berry draws a moving portrait of van Gogh as a spiritual seeker and teacher for our time.
