By chance I wound up going to a special exhibit of Van Gogh at the Detroit museum, hmm, probably 2000 or 2001. I’m not a fan of anything past some of the PRB and representational Victorian painters, other than Dali, but will say I’m glad I saw the Van Gogh works in person. As with the impressionists’ stuff, prints and even photos do NOT do them justice. Particularly with Van Gogh, the work is very bright, lively, sometimes even a little too vivid (scary). :’) Thanks for the ping.
