New Van Gogh Exhibit

Some of the paintings I used in writing my children’s book, Vincent, Theo and the Fox, are from the artist’s final period. They are among my favorites.

This upcoming exhibit at London’s National Gallery includes 60 paintings and drawings, including The Yellow House, where the fox starts its journey of self-discovery. The exhibit also features Wheatfield With Crows, where the wily fox learns what it wants to be when it grows up.

If you’re fortunate enough to make it to London, the exhibit runs through January 29, 2025.

Vincent, Theo and the Fox is a children’s book about Vincent van Gogh and growing up. Step into the art of Vincent van Gogh. Follow young Vincent and his brother Theo as they chase a fox on an imaginary adventure through the artists greatest paintings, including The Starry Night, Vincent’s Bedroom, and Wheatfield with Crows. On their magical journey, the boys – and the fox – experience failure. From it, they discover how to become the best you can be when you grow up.

“A charming, unique way to introduce youngsters to great art while providing an important message.”—Kirkus Reviews.

The book combines storytelling with full-color reproductions of 30 van Gogh paintings. Young readers will appreciate his art in a deeper way, discover details of van Gogh’s life, and learn how siblings achieve a shared goal.

  1. Thanks, Ted! I was wondering if I took a picture of that house, several of his subjects being pointed out by our tour guide, including at least one yellow one (which might not have been a van Gogh subject), but Wikipedia said the house no longer exists. I haven’t finished going through my pictures from France last June, but later I’ll put some on the net, and include a subfolder of van Gogh. See you tonight, Barney
