Vincent Van Gogh: Sunflowers and Swirly Stars (Smart About Art)

by: Joan Holub
My Mom had been singing "Starry Starry night" to me and I had the seen the Starry night picture in my art room at school so I wanted to know more about artist. My Mom got this book for me and I loved it. The fact that it is written in the style of a school report and is full of doodles and personnel thoughts made it very easy to follow. My Mom & I both learned some new things and now I want to go to the museum in the Netherlands to see the letters he wrote to his brother because he drew pictures around the edges.

Vincent van Gogh: The Letters: The Complete Illustrated and Annotated Edition (Vol. 1-6)

I would like to point out, to begin with, that this review concerns the 2009 Dutch language edition, which appeared a few weeks earlier than the French and English ones. Van Gogh's letters have always drawn attention. Emile Bernard started publishing letters in France in 1893, Cassirer did the same in Germany 10 years later, first in a magazine, in 1906 also in book form. Three volumes of letters to his brother were published in book form in 1914 by Theo's widow, Jo van Gogh-Bonger. But the edition from which later ones descend, was published in Holland between 1952 and 1954.

In the Garden with Van Gogh

by: Julie Merberg, Suzanne Bober
This book is a great way to introduce little ones to Van Gogh's art, as well as to the process of planting and harvesting. The rhyming text talks about planting and plants, while the illustrations are all reprints of actual Van Gogh paintings. (The titles of the pieces are all listed at the end of the book.) The board book format holds up well to little hands.
