Product Description Follows the life and artistic development of the painter who moved from Belgium and Holland to France, was influenced by Impressionism, and eventually created his own unique style. From School Library Journal Grade 23?Vincent van Gogh was a complex individual?a complexity barely touched on in this easy reader. The biography begins in 1885, when he was 32, and covers the last five years of his life. Not surprisingly, his story is much abbreviated and told in very simple terms. The cutoff ear lobe is not mentioned, nor is the cause of his death (suicide). The artist's mental problems are explained as "not think[ing] straight." Draper's illustrations, while expressing a flavor of van Gogh's work, are not equal to the real thing. The lack of reproductions (only one is included, in the afterword) is a major flaw that calls into question the worth of the book as a whole. Children who are interested in this painter can consult Rosabianca SkiraVenturi's A Weekend with van Gogh (Rizzoli, 1994), which is amply illustrated with reproductions of van Gogh prints.?Ann W.
