Yet Neither The Paintings Nor Van Gogh’s Story Might Have Survived At All Had It Not Been For His Sister-in-law, The Teacher, Translator, And Socialist Jo Van Gogh-bonger. Jo Married The Painter’s Brother, Theo, In 1889, And Over The Next Two Years Lived Through The Deaths Of Both Vincent And Her New Husband.
