內(nèi)容簡介:Vincent van Gogh–one of the 19th century’s most brilliant artists–will forever be remembered as the Dutchman who cut off his ear. But this incident only underscores the passion that consumed him–a passion that, when he took up painting at age 27, infused his work. Whether painting a portrait, a landscape, or a still life, Van Gogh sought to capture the vibrant spirit of his subject. It didn’t matter that others found his work too unconventional. Van Gogh persevered. And as he moved from the cold climate of Holland to balmy southern France, he pioneered a new technique and style.

In a career spanning only a decade, Van Gogh painted many great works, yet fame eluded him. This lack of recognition increased his self-doubts and bitter disappointments. Today, however, Van Gogh stands as a giant among artists.

作者簡介:Jan Greenberg is one of the most engaging individuals you will ever meet. She has quite an interest in and is extremely knowledgeable about art (her husband is an art dealer) and she loves beautiful jewelry, which are also works of art. This lucky lady has a husband who finds unique pieces at the auction houses such as Sotheby's. At the time we met, Jan had just returned from a trip to Bhutan. She remarked on the foods, lots of rice, chicken in sauces, cheese and hot peppers. She has a friend there who is working to preserve the local cultural arts--woodcarvings, textiles and religious paintings. She also went on a trek in the Himalayas and met many fascinating individuals including a 10 year old reincarnate who is treated like the Dali Lama with whom we are more familiar. She visited schools with hardly any resources, yet they were teaching classes in English.

Jan has been writing for more than two decades and it all began with fiction for young readers. When her kids were young, she wanted to write an autobiography about her family to share with her daughters. It became a work of fiction and the result was a story about a girl growing up in St. Louis. Fiction she felt was her forte and so she sent the manuscript out. Sandra Jordan at Farrar Straus Giroux found the book in the slush pile and now they have teamed up to write books together-nonfiction books. Sandra discovered that really preferred writing to editing, and when Jan looks at art, she wants to write a poem. Still her books take plenty of research and she does not let herself get bogged down with all of the research information nor does she allow it to interfere with the story that she is writing. It is the story that pulls kids in. While reading the story, the kids will learn the more formal aspects of the art forms and the vocabulary associated with it.

She and Sandra decided that they wanted to write a book for kids about contemporary art-post WWII-because so much of it at a glance is truly bewildering. The result was a book entitled The Painter's Eye: Learning to Look at Contemporary American Art. Then they produced The Sculptor's Eye: Looking at Contemporary American Art, which is according to a Kirkus review "A companion to The Painter's Eye...that's equally enriching, intelligently organized and provocative." After completing several books that were more of a survey nature, they decided to focus on one artist--and it was important that they agree on the artist, that a good story exist and that they like the art. Their choices included Chuck Close, and the resulting book Chuck Close, Up Close has garnered awards, prizes and has appeared on nearly two dozen best book lists. In a Bulletin Review, Deborah Stevenson remarked "The fact that Close's art and life are facets of each other is clear, and his consequent involvement of his friends in his paintings will make him particularly intriguing to young readers (as will his return to painting after a spinal injury bereft him of much independent movement)."
