ernest v. montford: This is a good review of Van Gogh’s work. I got it for my thirteen year old grandson. I wanted him to have a picture book with text. It offers a good narrative of Vincent’s life & work. I recommend as a good review at a fair price.

Sumeyra AkdoğanSumeyra Akdoğan: The media could not be loaded.  As I assumed that it won’t be a good choice for my coffee table ! And I never expected that the pages are coated papers ! As I don’t see quite amount of comment related to book , I actually hesitate to buy however I decided to buy to see . I will give detailed information about the book for your reference:
Firstly the hardcover is quite chic and there was no dent or damage.
Secondly the pages are coated which adds value to book and I also like the quality of pictures on the contrary of some reviews
Last but not least , it is very fashionable as well as good choice for having good time reading book in your free time. Very informative .
I would definitely recommend for those who have any hesitation about ordering for this book.
I will complete the whole series over time
Thank you 🙏🏻

The book presents Van Gogh and his paintings in chronological order and covers what is happening in his life as well as discussing the paintings themselves. I knocked half a star off in my rating due to a few lapses into what I call "art-speak".
