The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Vincent’s COLORS

The book Vincent’s COLORS which incredibly was made using words from the artist himself and some of his more well-known paintings. The book was published by The Metropolitan Museum of art using words and pictures by Vincent van Gogh. The sentences were taken from the many letters he would write his brother Theo throughout his lifetime. This book describes parts of his paintings by using language an artist would use but also colors a child could understand. At the beginning of the book we get a brief introduction to the artist and his life. This kind of book would be a great source to introduce younger children to famous artists, the artist’s most popular art works, and to help them begin to describe the colors in their own creations in a unique way.
