In Art: Van Gogh (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781506001685)

Most of the books in the Enjoying Great Art series are topical - on a variety of topics ranging from horses to nobility, and from necklaces to maps. But occasionally, the need arises to focus on a particular artist. Leonardo da Vinci was the first to warrant his own book in the series, and now Vincent van Gogh joins that limited list. Van Gogh's artist career was much shorter than da Vinci's, but in less than ten years, van Gogh completed almost a thousand oil paintings, and over a thousand sketches and water colors. So, while In Art: Leonardo includes all of da Vinci's known works, In Art: Van Gogh can only include a small portion of his work. Many of the other books in the Enjoying Great Art series also include paintings by van Gogh, including the following ones by Deirdre Fuller: Butterflies, Chairs, Cows, Farming, Shoes, Still Life, and Winter. Catherine Jaime's books with van Gogh include: Books, Candlelight, Flags, Food, Hats, and Trees, with more to come. Enjoy this small sample of van Gogh's work, along with several portraits of him by other artists, and numerous quotes. (The quotes are all by van Gogh, and the paintings are unless marked otherwise.)
