THE SUNFLOWERS: VINCENT VAN GOGH’S SEARCH FOR BEAUTY written and illustrated by Zahara Marwan

Zahara Marwan’s use of color is so fitting in THE SUNFLOWERS: VINCENT VAN GOGH’S SEARCH FOR BEAUTY. The writer-illustrator describes Van Gogh’s depressing life in paris with blues and grays as the artist struggles in Paris, his mood and the colors alleviated by a meeting with Paul Gauguin. Finally we see his life in Arles and the book’s colors burst with yellows and brightness, a perfect representation of the artist’s subjects and the joy that enters his creative process.
