🔴 Sold in Atlanta: Vincent and Theo Van Gogh, oil on linen, 72X60 inches, 2019. . The correspondence between Vincent and his younger brother Theo shows us the great love between them. Theo provided financial support and moral encouragement for which Vincent was so grateful that he even wanted to have Theo’s name also signed on his paintings. He just couldn’t envision his artistic journey outside this tandem. That’s why he sent detailed accounts of his painting field trips to Theo sometimes as often as twice daily. Those letters are a great read. Vincent got drunk everyday with colors, tied to his easel like a horse plowing in the field, unflinching despite the winds that threatened his sanity. Why? Because he knew he could rely on Theo. And when he started doubting that, it triggered the end. I’m not going to tell that story again, you all know it. It’s just sad and absurd, like death always is. I just want you to remember what made Vincent’s colorful dream come alive on canvas when you see it in the museum: he painted for his brother, he painted to decorate the room of his brother’s newborn child with Japanese-like blossoming trees. And this filled him with joy. . #mathieulaca #art #vincentvangogh #vangogh #vincentvangoghmuseum @vangoghmuseum #artist #painter #peinture #painting #oilpainting #artwork #portrait #portraitpainting #artoftheday #artofvisuals #drawing #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #artoninstagram #artgallery #artexhibition #artcollector #artcollection #artcollecting #oiloncanvas #lovingvincent (à Thompson Landry Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4zypyJnk0D/?igshid=17kyxuikzvuzh
