Artists By Themselves: Van Gogh

YA-- These small, handsome books offer excellent introductions to the lives and works of their subjects. Each volume begins with a short but cogently written biographical sketch, followed by small full-color reproductions of the artist's works accompanied by quotations from their own conversations or writings. Sometimes the quotations relate to the particular painting on the opposite page but, more often, they relate to the artists' views of his own techniques, subject matter, or philosophy.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
