Van Gogh's House: A Pop-Up Experience

Published on the occasion of the van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. this fun-filled pop-up book opens into a four-room circular house showing the artists home as he painted it his friends as he portrayed them and the world outside as he observed it. Van Goghs House is full of surprises and interchangeable elements: the views from the windows are classic van Gogh scenes such as Harvest Landscape and Starry Night and on the walls hang portraits landscapes and still lifes. Every last detail is in place from Vincents pipe and tobacco to his clogs under the table to his unfinished canvas propped on an easel. Putting everything into historical context the accompanying small book takes a learned and enjoyable look at van Goghs life and the people places and paintings in it.
