The Foundation Vincent Van Gogh Arles, of course! Today, we had tickets to the current exhibit of 31 Van Gogh paintings entitled Van Gogh en Provence. All the pieces were on loan from other institutions, and it was a rare opportunity to view some of his work near where he created it.
There were several categories of paintings on display:
Portraits, including 2 self portraits.
 |
| Self-portrait, Paris November 1886 |
 |
| Self-portrait, Paris, Oct. 1887 |
 |
| An old Arlesian, Arles, Feb. 1888 |
Still lifes.
 |
| Potatoes, Arles, Jan.1889 |
 |
| Absinthe, Paris, March 1887 |
And landscapes.
 |
| An Arles landscape, painted in April 1888 |
 |
| Fishing boats at Stes. Maries de la mer, June 1888 |
 |
| The Green Vines, Arles, Oct. 1888 |

Great exhibit, and fun to see right around the corner from where he lived and painted.
