Customer Reviews

Large, color reproductions with analysis; brief biography

Full page, color illustrations of Paul Gaugin's work appear with the author's interpretation and some background information about each work of art on the facing page. I appreciate the large, color reproductions. There is very brief biographical information at the beginning of the book. I don't feel the biographical information was quite enough, even for my 6 year old, so we will supplement with another children's biography on Gaugin. This was a great first book to read about Paul Gaugin. However, this book is not to be missed. What makes it special is the large format of the pictures and the in-depth analysis of each work, which seldom appears in children's books about an authors' work.It is a shame that this book is out of print!
