Loading... Van Gogh (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists) (edition 1989)by Mike Venezia (Author), Mike Venezia (Illustrator)This is a lovely gem of a book given to me by a wonderful LT friend. The author has a unique style of writing text about Van Gogh's works while drawing accompanying laugh-out-loud cartoons. This is a wonderful book for someone who knows little about Van Gogh and his exquisite works. I will be sure to look folr more books by this author. While the intended market is for young people, it is a lovely presentation and well-worth to time spent by all ages. This was a really good book! I really enjoyed the illustrations of Vincent van Gogh and the photograph of his paintings. During van Goghs life, I did not know that he was formally an art dealer, teacher, bookseller, and preacher. I learned some new things about van Gogh that I did not know previously. The comic strips in the book are very helpful in understanding van Goghs thinking and inspirations. This book will be a pleasure for students to read! I would recommend this book for grades 2-4. |
