VAN  GOGH




Quote for Today - June 18, 2011

"What makes people the world over stand in line for Van Gogh is not that they will see beautiful pictures [but] that in an indefinable way they will come away feeling better human beings. And that is exactly what Van Gogh hoped for."

John Russell, New York Times, October 19, 1984

Painting: "Starry Night Over the Rhone," by Vincent Van Gogh, Oil on Canvas, Arles, France, September 1888. It can be seen, if you get on line,  at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris, France.
