A small little book filled with Van Gogh's famous paintings. On one side of the page Josephine explains the details and techniques Vincent uses on the painting featured on the opposite page. I don't know a whole lot about art critique and color theory so some things that Josephine would bring to light were things I didn't fully understand.

I enjoyed looking at the artwork and learning about the sad and tumultuous life of Vincent. It especially got sadder towards the end of the book, knowing show more his suicide was imminent.

A nice place to start I think for those interested in Van Gogh. show less
