Classic art book. I love to see more pictures than just the most famous ones. This one has 59 full color plates.

Un buen libro, cumple con el objetivo de narrar la vida de Van Gogh, la selección de imágenes es buena y todas están a color

I'm not sure this is the right book but it's the right author. Close enough. VVG is one of my favorites though many other artists aren't that enthralled. His output for a short period of time was prolific but they aren't all winners. Date read is a guess.
