Van Gogh by Pierre Cabanne

I would love to paint like Van Gogh, all that thick paint with loose brush strokes. The man was brilliant. The funny thing is I didn’t really know much about him. Well accept that he cut his ear off for some strange reason..... and then there’s that old Don Mclean tune Starry Starry Night. Other then that I couldn’t tell you much about the guy, So I got a few books and started reading about the man his life and his passion for art. I just finished the first book by Pierre Cabanne and I’m now looking forward to going back to the Met. to observe his work with some insight into his thoughts and struggles.
