Enjoyed the archived copy on openlibrary.org, but if you can find the paper book I recommend it for ease of reading the wealth of text and seeing the full-color art.

It feels as if it's part of a series, as if the 'young boy' investigates other artists in companion books.

I did not know his childhood was in Peru, which speaks to his openness to travel. I also did not know he had five children, which speaks to... well!

Surprisingly interesting for mostly a biography. Enough about his development of his own style that I appreciate it. And good back matter for such a relatively old book (1993).

" ... La famosa cartolina coi tre ragazzi non era indirizzata a me. Il postino infatti si era sbagliato, ma gli devo un'avvincente avventura intorno a l mondo ... "
La ricerca delle tracce di un grande pittore, Gauguin, attraverso la Francia visitando città, musei e sfogliando libri, una sorta di caccia al tesoro.
Penso sia il modo migliore per attrarre i ragazzi al grande, meraviglioso mondo dell'arte.
