In most cases, to go through a mans correspondence and make the proper selection for publication would be easy. One would merely have to pick out the few letters which were interesting and discard the many which were duU or unintelligible to the general reader without elaborate editorial notes. But there is scarcely one letter by Van Gogh which I, who am certainly no expert, do not find fascinating. Anyone who can afford them will want to possess and ought to buy the magnificent three volumes edited by Vincent W. vanG ogh. What, I asked myself, is the single most important fact about Van Gogh? To that there seemed only one answer -T hat he painted pictures. I have, therefore, confined my selection to those of his letters which contain reflections upon the art of painting and the problems of being a painter, and have only included letters concerned with his personal relations, to his father and his brother, for example, in so far as these throw direct light upon his career as a painter. Van Gogh was such an extraordinary character, however, that I have also generously selected from the descriptions given of him by acquaintances at various times in his life, which are printed in the complete edition.

Vincent, Theo and the Fox is an adventure story for children inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. As young boys, Vincent and his brother Theo van Gogh spy a mischievous fox sneaking into a farmer’s cart. The fox finds the farmer's lunch bag and starts to rip it open. "That fox should be careful - the farmer will shoot him," says Vincent. "Let's catch him," replies Theo, "and take him someplace safe." The brothers give chase through colorful fields, over land and sea, into the city and beyond – settings illustrated by over 30 full-color reproductions of van Gogh’s greatest works. On this imaginative journey Vincent and Theo – and the fox – learn about failure, success, and discovering how to be the best you can be when you grow up. Not just a sweet story about brotherhood, it's the perfect introduction to Vincent van Gogh for kids. A great way to open up the world of fine art to children, with an epilogue that gives a brief, factual biography of Vincent van Gogh.

Vincent van Gogh used a vibrant palette of Prussian blue, chrome orange, vermilion, and other bold colors to express moods rather than literal reality. These 16 full-page black-and-white reproductions of his most popular works — including The Church at Auvers, Van Gogh's Bedroom, and Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers — offer chances to get adventurous with color. Afterward, hold the translucent pages up to a light to admire the brilliant stained glass effects.
