Intended for a juvenile audience. <p><b>This "lively, beautifully written biography" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) of the famous Post-Impressionist artist who painted <i>Starry Night </i>and many other masterpieces is "fascinating reading" (<i>School Library Journal</i>, Starred Review).</b><i> <p/></i>Vincent Van Gogh--one of the nineteenth century's most brilliant artist--will forever be remembered as the Dutchman who pioneered new techniques and styles and who, in a fit of passion, cut off his own ear. <p/>Whether painting a portrait, landscape, or still life, van Gogh sought to capture the vibrant spirit of his subject. Still, fame eluded him. This lack of recognition over a career spanning a mere decade (from ages twenty-seven to thirty-seven) fueled his lifelong self-doubt and bitter disappointments. Today, however, van Gogh's paintings are recognized as masterpieces, and the tormented Dutchman stands as a giant among artists. <p/><i>Vincent Van Gogh: Portrait of An Artist</i> has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades 6-8, Historical/Social Studies) in Appendix B. It features a sixteen-page insert with family photographs and full-color painting reproductions and includes a glossary of artists and terms, a biographical time line, notes, a bibliography, and locations of museums that display Van Gogh's work. <p/>A ROBERT F.
