Aspiring artists and history buffs learn not only how these Post-Impressionists\' daring shapes, colors, and techniques distinguished Their work from what was painted before but also how the men helped one another and whether or not they always got along.
Kids journey from the Netherlands to Paris to southern France as they learn about van Gogh\'s friendships with four other like-minded painters who admired but were determined to depart from Impressionism: Paul Gauguin, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
These are the hallmarks of a painting by Vincent van Gogh, whose work his fellow artist Paul Cezanne once called "that of a madman." But Van Gogh and the Post-Impressionists for Kids moves beyond the image of the mad pauper to reveal a complex young man who loved nature and reading, spoke four languages, and enjoyed a successful career as a gallery salesman before embarking on studies as a minister and, finally, finding his calling as an artist.
