5.0 out of 5 stars
Good little book!,
By E. Faxon (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential: Vincent Van Gogh (Essential (Harry N. Abrams)) (Hardcover)
I just have to write a review because I've never had the opportunity to be the first to review! This book is well-written and well-researched; lots of juicy biographical information and analysis. Much better than you would expect for something that looks like a doll's coffee table book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
There you have it!,
This review is from: The Essential Vincent van Gogh (Hardcover)
Ingrid Schaffner pulls me into the tortured world of Vincent van Gogh. That his artistic period lasted a mere 10 years is new information. That he sold one painting in his lifetime is frustration revisited. That he sliced off "part" of his ear, rather than the whole ear is a relief. That Gauguin and van Gogh were rivals during their friendship is sharply defined. That in the grand scheme of art history, van Gogh has trumped Gauguin is satisfying. There you have it! The Essential Vincent van Gogh by Ingrid Schaffner is a keeper.
