(1) YA Heiligman unpacks the friendship between artist Vincent van Gogh and his brother Theo. Her present-tense, purposely staccato narration effectively heightens the brothers' emotional intensity, their sufferings and pleasures, and Vincent's wild and original art. The layout incorporates sketches, subheads, and generous white space, a calming counterpoint to the turbulent narrative. A unique and riveting exploration of art, artists, and brotherly love. Timeline. Bib., ind.
