Read the passage. Then read the statements and circle true or false.
I quite enjoy studying art. My favourite artist is Vincent van Gogh. He was a very serious, warm-
hearted person, and he had a sad life. But he was a great painter. His most beautiful work is called
The Starry Night. This painting shows the moon and stars in the night sky over a village in the
countryside. It was painted in France in 1889. It was sold to the Museum of Modern Art in New York
City in 1941.
I’ve only seen The Starry Night in books and on the Internet. My family and I visited New York when I
was a child, but we didn’t go to the Museum of Modern Art. If I go to New York again, I’ll make sure to
go and see the best painting by my favourite artist.
