Vincent van Gogh (1853-90), considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, inspired the Expressionist school of painting. Given the number of his paintings that are now well-known masterpieces, it is staggering to think that his painting career lasted only ten years. His fame is enhanced by his many haunting self-portraits and his suicide at age thirty-seven. Van Gogh for Kids contains ten of his most familiar images, including The Starry Night, Bedroom at Arles , and Vase with Fourteen Sunflowers , in a toddler-friendly board-book format. About the Editor Margaret E. Hyde was inspired to create the Great Art for Kids books when she could not find age-appropriate art books for her own little girl. As an alternative to having her expensive coffee-table books drooled on, Mrs. Hyde designed these durable board books to introduce young children to the great painters. A native of Memphis, Mrs. Hyde now lives in Santa Monica with her family. Other titles in the Great Art for Kids Series are Cassatt for Kids, Impressionists for Kids, Matisse for Kids, Picasso for Kids, and Renoir for Kids ($8.95 each), all available from Pelican.
