4.0 out of 5 stars Portraiture: Vincent van Gogh's great love, May 5, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Van Gogh, Face to Face: The Portraits (Hardcover)
From 2000-2001 this exhibition, devoted specifically to Van Gogh's portraits and self-portraits, will travel to Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. This book is well written and provides graphics of superb quality. My only misgiving comes from the fact that seven different writers contributed to the commentary of the book which makes the flow of the text somewhat disjointed. While very well researched, other exhibition catalogues (those by Ronald Pickvance, for example) take a work-by work, single author approach and, as a result, the commentary is more clear and concise. Still, it's a minor criticism of an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars drawing faces, March 2, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love almost all of Van Gogh's work. It was only when I tried to draw faces that I realized how materful he was in the many faces he drew. This book should be an inspiration to the student concerning what is possible.
