64 days in heaven and hell (109) Day 23, November 14 Van Gogh admired Gauguin’s latest works very much. He even advised his brother Theo, art dealer, to quickly sell a previous work of his, ‘since the two he’s going to send you from here are thirty times better’.  He was referring to Human Misery and this ‘The Pigs’.

At this point in time, Van Gogh worshipped his friend more than ever and in return, Gauguin’s ego got inflated and his boastful behavior stimulated.

Norah Neilson Gray ‘Mother and Child’ early 1920s.

After World War One,Gray built up her portrait practice, based in her studio at 141 Bath Street, Glasgow. She produced decorative but unsentimental images of young women and children. Her paintings are characterised by the unconventional placing of figures, unusual colour schemes and shadow patterns, as in Mother and Child.
