Van Gogh cartoon
By Moa Thorssell
Who says art history has to be hard to understand, time consuming and old fashioned?
Vincent Van Gogh's biography is to be published in the form of a comic strip. A book that gives both youngsters and adults the chance to broaden their knowledge about the famous Dutch painter in an entertaining way.
"Vincent van Gogh: an artist's struggle" is the story of an anxious artist's short and tumbling life; a Dutch man struggling for success but only reaching it after his death.
EurEducation and the Van Gogh Museum aim at making Van Gogh attractive to a younger audience while a teaching package will be available for secondary school use too.
Jan Kragt (writer) and Marc Verhaegen (drawings) promise the interesting readers pleasant surprises throughout the book.
"Vincent van Gogh: an artist's struggle" will be available from March 3 both in English and Dutch.
