4-6Xtraordinary Artists series.
Generously illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs and reproductions, these books introduce the lives and work of their famous, fascinating, and controversial subjects. The over-designed pages--with text in different sizes, art, and tiny, difficult-to-read captions running up the sides of the pages--detract from each book's focus. A section of writings by (Van Gogh) or about (Gehry) each artist is appended. Timeline. Bib., ind. Review covers these Xtraordinary Artists titles: Frank Gehry and Vincent van Gogh.
