Vincent Van Gogh used art to express his intensely emotional response to the world around him. Enraptured by the beauty of nature and tormented by the sorrows of human existence, he produced in his tragically short life some of the most powerfully expressive paintings ever seen.   Many have made the mistake of thinking him mad, and he did suffer throughout his life periods of mental anguish. But Van Gogh's paintings are not the works of a madman.   Van Gogh famously sold only one painting during his life, but within a few years of his death he was recognized as one of the greatest modern painters.    This is Van Gogh  provides a clear, accessible introduction to this famous artist. This richly illustrated volume incorporates original drawings and the artist's own works with authoritative text to engage and educate readers.   Authors &mdash; Catherine Ingram and George Roddam.   Illustrator &mdash; Slawa Harasymowicz.   Hardcover. 80 pages.  9&quot; &times; 7&quot; (23 cm &times; 18cm) .

Struggling against the stifling conformity of the late 19th century's artistic mainstream, Paul Gauguin created some of the most advanced art in a brilliant generation of artists.   Gauguin created paintings whose radically simplified lines and colors echoed the unschooled art of the rustic and native cultures he loved. After his famously disastrous stay with Vincent van Gogh in southern France, Gauguin escaped European civilization for the Polynesian islands. Immersing himself in the culture, he produced a series of radiant canvases and powerful sculptures &mdash; his last great works.   From his childhood in Peru to his experiences in Tahiti, the story of Gauguin's life is recounted in authoritative text by an expert on the post-Impressionists, coupled with powerful imagery by an award-winning illustrator.   Author &mdash; George Roddam.   Illustrator &mdash; S&#322;awa Harasymowicz.   Hardcover. 80 pages. 9&quot; &times; 7&quot; (23 cm &times; 18 cm).

Rembrandt van Rijn is the quintessential Old Master. His intimately observed, vivid, and profoundly atmospheric works are what many museum-goers expect from traditional paintings.   But in his own lifetime Rembrandt was not always so well regarded. He found early fame and great wealth as a painter, living with the opulence of a rock star &mdash; and spending way beyond his means. When, midway through his career, public taste turned away from him, these combined factors proved ruinous. For the rest of his life he would be destitute, crippled by debt and the loss of patrons.   Nonetheless, he continued to paint with the same passion. The art he produced in his final years is arguably his most enduringly sensitive and open.    This is Rembrandt  provides a clear, accessible introduction to this famous artist. This richly illustrated volume incorporates original drawings and the works of Rembrandt with authoritative text to engage and educate readers.   Author &mdash; Jorella Andrews.   Illustrator &mdash; by Nick Higgins.   Hardcover. 80 pages.  9&quot; &times; 7&quot; (23 cm &times; 18 cm) .
