This is an easy read. There is about two paragraphs or so to go along with each photo of Vincent's self-portraits. Then there is some family history after them along with pictures of his family members.

2006 wrote: Van Gogh through his own eyes and mostly his own words. Every one of his portraits are accompanied by a brief synapsis of his life at the time, why he created the piece and excerpts from his letters surrounding the time period. Great way to study the different moods and techniques that Van Gogh shifted through. Beautiful art, obviously.
