VAN GOGH

This listing includes the book with one set of prints for US orders. Extra sets may be ordered separately for $10 each  ($6 during our birthday sale). Elizabeth Ripley tells a warm, understanding story of the great artist Vincent van Gogh. His arduous life, his struggles against poverty, his determination to continue painting despite lack of recognition, are discussed with dignity and empathy. Much of the story is told by van Gogh himself, as his personality authentically emerges through letters written to family and friends. All paintings are in full color, with a few extra sketches and paintings new to this edition. Plus there is a bonus page in the back, but only US orders, when you get the book here from Purple House Press—page 68 showcases van Gogh's beautiful painting Almond Blossom. This edition of the book was printed on an offset printing press using 100# matte art paper (semi-gloss) with 12 pt covers. Books purchased from any other retailer are the print-on-demand edition, w
