No comments about Paul Gauguin: See and Do Children's Book.

1 comments about The Pursuit of Spiritual Wisdom.

1. Maurer has provided all van Gogh and Gauguin scholars a wonderful book to aid them in their studies. It provides fabulous photos of works and she does an excellent job of comparing them. She even has a few paintings that have up until now not been photographed in color. A good study of these great artists and their struggles for original expression and spirituality. Recommended for any scholar.

1 comments about Paul Gaugin: Images from the South Seas (Pegasus Paperbacks).

1. This survey of Gauguin's later work and career provided an excellent complement to Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence". The book provides the historical background to separate the facts from the rumors that circulated after his death. The excellent reproductions (all in color) are well chosen to complement the text and sequenced so that they are on or near the pages on which they are discussed. The book is an easy read and an excellent bargain for a hardbound book so well illustrated.

1 comments about Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Vol 2.

1. After seeing the collection in Madrid a study of Vol 1& 2 were rewarding in so far as each work of art (95% plus ) paintings had an essay regarding the work and aspects of the artists life and style. The paintings in the books and collection were perhaps not typical of the artist they are in deed lovely and worth an art lovers time. These are not coffee table books but give one an opportunity to get a good idea of what Western art is. A. Cinelli, M.D.

5 comments about The Story of van Gogh and Gauguin: A Color and Learn Book (Color and Learn Books (Starshell)).

1. I'm tired of buying art "activity books" that kids don't use. But this one was worth every penny. My daughter (6) didn't stop carrying it around until she had colored in every painting. The story is good too, I learned a few things myself.



2. I bought this book for my 9 year old son after seeing it mentioned in the New York Times. What a hoot! A coloring book about the friendship of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gaugin. My kid has already colored in all the pictures in a way which shows the utter lack of imagination of these so-called creative artists. Now he wants me to get him another copy. And you know what? I probably will. This book is a lot of fun.



3. My 7-year-old was amazed by the colors at the Van Gogh show at the MFA in Boston last fall, but it was hard to find something appropriate to encourage him. This was perfect!



4. Finally a coloring book that has something more to offer! This ingenious book is great for kids who want to learn more about art ... and for parents who want to teach them. Kids learn about Van Gogh and Gauguin effortlessly by reading the text and through coloring their own pictures. The book looks like so much fun, I was tempted to start coloring myself. Can't wait for the next one in the series!



5. i discovered this book at a museum bookstore and gave it to my nephew, who is 7. i thought it might be too old for him, but he loved it. in fact, he took the book with him everywhere until he had colored it all in. now he carries it around and shows it to
   everyone and tells them the story - he is a little art history teacher now. needless to say, his mother and i ordered several copies apiece to give as christmas presents. They arrived quickly.
   i can't wait for the next one.

1. This book is the culmination of a lifetime's study of the life and art of Paul Gauguin by a professor who has developed his material over years of teaching and analysis. It offers many new perspectives on the life and thinking of this artist, and is a must read for any person interested in the artist, his associates and the cultural world in which they worked.
