Brief aan Françoise W.M. Bonger Possibly 1952 - 1958

This is a letter written in 1952 by Swedish artist Sven Sandström to Françoise W.M. Bonger, the daughter of Vincent van Gogh's art dealer, Theo van Gogh. It is a handwritten note of thanks, acknowledging the generous hospitality Bonger extended to Sandström during his visit to her home in Almen. Sandström is known for his artistic work and his writings on the visual arts, especially concerning French painter Odilon Redon. In the letter, Sandström mentions the influence of Redon's art on that of the Belgian writer, Francis Jannes. He also praises Bonger's collection of art and documents, which he believes will aid his research. This document is of interest to art historians and those studying the connections between visual art and literary work.
