Art: Meeting Van Gogh @ Tate Britain London

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - There is a thin line between genius and madness, so they say. Van Gogh certainly walked on this line. I was happy to see a large Van Gogh exhibition at Tate Britain in London (tate.org).

 

Above you can see my favorite, the psychedelic "Starry Night".



 

I also love how his self-portraits had evolved in few years: "Self-Portrait with Felt Hat" from 1886/87 followed by "Self-Portrait" (1887) & "Self-Portrait" (1889).

 

His famous "Sun Flowers"also show his unique technique.

 

Above "Loom with weaver" (1884) & "The Prison Court Yard" (1890).

 

Above some of his landscapes: "Autumn Landscape at Dusk" (1885); "The Bois de Boulogne with People Walking" (1886) &"Pollard Willows at Sunset" (1888)

 

The exhibition included paintings by friends & admirers, including Francis Bacon`s hommage  "Study for Portrait of Van Gogh IV" from  1957.


 

Stay tuned!
