Title: Happy birthday Van Gogh!
Post by: BUTLER3 on March 30, 2018, 08:07:43 pm
Vincent Van Gogh's birthday is March 30th. He was born in 1853, so he would turn 165 today!

I have always loved his amazing art.

Happy birthday Vincent!

That was my first thought too, as "The Scream" looks like it was painted by Van Gogh, but we were both wrong...

"By juxtaposing works like 'The Scream', Munch’s best known painting of a tormented soul, against Van Gogh’s 'The Bridge of Trinquetaille', the [exhibit] creators explore similarities in their visions of life."  from Reuters article, Dutchman Van Gogh finally meets Norway's Munch (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-art-vangogh/dutchman-van-gogh-finally-meets-norways-munch-idUSKCN0RM1V720150922)

You are right. I don't know why I thought it was by Van Gogh but there are similarities beetween their paintings. Still both were great painters and their work is beautiful.
