This combined biography/travelog chronicles the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh, "the most famous and best-loved of all painters," according to the author. Beautiful illustrations include color reproductions of some of the artist's paintings and photographs of buildings and scenery from his famous haunts such as Auvers-sur-Oise, Arles, and Paris. Many photographs are accompanied by passages from Van Gogh's letters, but it is irksome that the actual locations or subjects of some photographs are not more clearly identified. The travelog portion ("Small Tourist Guide") describes things to see, hotels, and restaurants in Auvers, Arles, Saint-Remy, Paris, Amsterdam, Borinage, The Hague, Nuenen, and Zundert. But colorful travel guides abound, and most readers will be better served, instead, by other biographies such as Bernard Denvir's Vincent: A Complete Portrait (Running Pr., 1994), or David Sweetman's Van Gogh: His Life and His Art (LJ 7/90).
