#VanGogh died on July 29 1890. Yrs ago I tried to get permission to use his letters in a volume for the @OrbisBooks #ModernSpiritualMasters Series. The publisher refused on grounds that Van Gogh “is not a spiritual master.” No matter, Carol Berry made her own translations.

In my book #AllSaints I wrote about how #VanGogh found in art a way to express his solidarity and compassion with suffering humanity, and to reflect the inner holiness of everything that is.

Henri Nouwen certainly thought Van Gough was a spiritual master

You were right back than and Carol Berry is to lauded for taking up the challenge. Vincent Van Gogh was most certainly a spiritually master, using color, form, and words to utter the unutterable about the Mystery.
