Elizabeth Ripley tells a warm, understanding story of the great artist Vincent van Gogh. His arduous life, his struggles against poverty, his determination to continue painting despite lack of recognition, are discussed with dignity and empathy.
Much of the story is told by van Gogh himself, as his personality authentically emerges through letters written to family and friends.
The selected paintings are: Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat, Sunflowers (15 sunflowers with yellow background), The Zouave (half-figure), Bridge at Arles, The Potato Eaters, The Yellow House, The Bedroom, and the incomparable Starry Night.
All paintings are in full color, with a few extra sketches and paintings new to this edition. This edition of the book was printed on an offset printing press using 100# matte art paper (semi-gloss) with 12 pt covers.
Books purchased from any retailer are the print-on-demand edition, with a different isbn and printed on 70# non-glossy paper with 10 pt covers.
