This review is from: Van Gogh: A Beginner's Guide (Paperback)

This new biography is an excellent overview of Van Gogh's life. This concise guide is well researched and written in an intelligent and engaging style. For those new to art history, Forrest frequently details specific keywords to assist the reader. I would definitely recommend this book.
