"Little known but no less influential, Jo van Gogh-Bonger was sister-in-law of Vincent van Gogh, wife of his brother, Theo. When the brothers died soon after each other, she took charge of Van Gogh's artistic legacy and devoted the rest of her life to disseminating his work. Despite being widowed with a young son, Jo successfully navigated the male-dominated world of the art market--publishing Van Gogh's letters, organizing exhibitions in the Netherlands and throughout the world, and making strategic sales to private individuals and influential dealers--ultimately establishing Van Gogh's reputation as one of the finest artists of his generation. In doing so, she fundamentally changed how we view the relationship between the artist and his work. She also lived a rich and fascinating life--not only was she friends with eminent writers and artists, but she also was active within the Social Democratic Labour Party and closely involved in emerging women's movements. Using rich source material, including unseen diaries, documents and letters, Hans Luijten charts the multi-faceted life of this visionary woman with the drive to shake the art world to its core"--Publisher's description.

"Bij weinigen bekend, maar niet minder invloedrijk: Jo van Gogh-Bonger (1862-1925), de vrouw van Theo en schoonzus van Vincent van Gogh. Toen de broers kort na elkaar overleden, ontfermde zij zich vanaf 1891 over Van Goghs artistieke nalatenschap en wijdde de rest van haar leven aan de verspreiding en bekendmaking ervan. Ze publiceerde zijn brieven, organiseerde tentoonstellingen in binnen- en buitenland en verkocht strategisch aan particulieren en invloedrijke kunsthandelaren. Voor de reputatie van Van Goghs kunst waren haar inspanningen cruciaal. Maar ook in andere opzichten leidde ze een boeiend leven. Niet alleen was ze bevriend met vooraanstaande schrijvers en kunstenaars, ze was ook actief binnen de Sociaal-Democratische Arbeiderspartij en nauw betrokken bij de ontluikende vrouwenbeweging. Ze had één zoon, die vernoemd was naar zijn oom: hij was de tweede belangrijke Vincent in haar leven. Op basis van rijk bronnenmateriaal, waaronder niet eerder gepubliceerde dagboeken, documenten en brieven, schetst Hans Luijten het veelzijdige leven van deze geëngageerde vrouw die zich in de decennia rond 1900 daadkrachtig manifesteerde in een door mannen gedomineerde wereld. 'Alles voor Vincent' is een liefdevol geschreven biografie, die ook nieuw licht werpt op de waarderingsgeschiedenis van Van Gogh".

The core of the Van Gogh Museum’s collection consists of the paintings, drawings, prints and letters of Vincent van Gogh, as well as a substantial group of artworks by his contemporaries, which Vincent assembled with his brother Theo. The fact that the collection was kept together and eventually housed in a dedicated museum is entirely to the credit of the Van Gogh family. Following Theo’s tragic death, barely six months after that of Vincent himself, his widow Jo van Gogh-Bonger devoted her life to raising awareness of this magnificent legacy. The international fame that Van Gogh’s work enjoys today is due in large part to her efforts.To keep the collection intact, Theo and Jo’s son – named Vincent after his uncle – set out to have a museum built. So it was that the Van Gogh Museum opened its doors to the public in 1973, the fiftieth anniversary of which falls in 2023.Choosing Vincent looks back over a tale of doubt, setbacks and triumph, while highlighting many of the masterpieces and lesser-known gems from this unique collection.
