{"product_id":"vincent-van-gogh-portrait-of-an-artist","title":"Vincent Van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist","description":"This \"lively, beautifully written biography\" (Kirkus Reviews) of the famous Post-Impressionist artist who painted Starry Night and many other masterpieces is \"fascinating reading\" (School Library Journal, Starred Review).\n\nVincent 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.\n\nWhether 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.\n\nVincent Van Gogh: Portrait of An Artist 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.\n\nA ROBERT F.
