    Using numerous archives, some unpublished, Judith Perignon built there, in a intimate and delicate style, a poignant story: Vincent told by his brother Theo. The major source is considerable correspondence between the brothers, but also the diary of Johanna, Theo's wife, and documents gleaned from the clinic of Dr. White or Utrecht.
