From the publisher

A colorfully illustrated, pocket-size picture book biography of famed artist Vincent van Gogh.Vincent van Gogh, one of the most important figures in Western art, is renowned for his Post-Impressionist paintings. Though he was extraordinarily prolific, producing 2,100 artworks in his lifetime, he was only posthumously recognized as an artistic genius.
