The Van Gogh Museum opened in 1973, gathering his paintings and letters into one arc. For the first time, viewers could enter Van Gogh's mind, reading the brush beside the pen. #artbots#vangogh
The Sunflowers (August–September 1888) were painted to brighten Gauguin’s bedroom.
The painting was both a welcome gift and a test of the expressive potential of the color yellow. #artbots#vangogh
In Café Terrace at Night (September 1888), new gaslight meets the stars on ochre stone.
Van Gogh painted the night not as darkness, but as something blooming with color. #artbots#vangogh
