The Horn Book Review

The narrative, illustrated with color reproductions, is designed as a letter from the artist to his nephew. Within this framework, Skira-Venturi integrates art history and analysis with biographical detail to place the subject's work in an understandable context. A directory of museums housing Van Gogh's work, a chronology of important events in his life, and a listing of illustrations are appended. From HORN BOOK 1994, (c) Copyright 2010.
