Previous thread Can you take Jack's word for his existence? Jim, you're in good company. In Jonathan Williams' book, A Palpable Elysium (highly recommended, by the way), he remarks of the writer, Guy Davenport: "He once asked me if I could prove that Vincent van Gogh actually existed and wasn't just a creation of his brother Theo. He said, 'There seems to be no known photograph of van Gogh. I find that odd.'" Just did a search. There are photographs that may be photographs of van Gogh but, as far as I could find, that seems to be up for argument.
