Van Gogh at The National Gallery

Yesterday I went to London to see the Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers exhibition at The National Gallery. It was an interesting exhibition bringing together many paintings that have rarely been seen as they are in private collections

Very nice. The sunflowers with the blue background are ours, I think; I read that out had gone on walkabout.

They are yours! It was great to see them as apparently it is rarely lent out (so thank you, Philadelphia Museum!).

Ah Vincent my man! This looks like a wonderful exhibition. Have you seen Loving Vincent?

[kazzy_cee]

I haven’t - I missed it at our local art house cinema. I’m waiting until it’s free on Prime ;)

It was a HUGE exhibition - I really enjoyed it.

His vegetation certainly looked like it could jump off the picture.

Yes - it’s so different seeing the actual paintings rather than a picture as the paint was so thick and textured!
