Van Gogh in Paris, Eykyn Maclean London

Hello vibrant colours!!!! Was basically what Vincent Van Gogh was introduced to in Paris and I especially love the sunny bright yellows.  Postcard from the show on right, my sketches of his work on left 😎

It was a collection of work by Vincent from the two-year period when he was in Paris and a few he painted after. There were also work by other artists that he came into contact with at that time or was inspired by. Interesting was the Japanese prints…and there was a beautiful Monet of long twig-like trees and a laundress girl with wonderful composition by Toulouse-Lautrec. It was my first time in this private Gallery, which took a good while to find and amazingly was for free! Hurray!! Anytime I can see more of Vincents art I’m happy!

The Courtauld Gallery in London is such a great place, theres usually only a few people, so its super calm and the paintings there are lovely….lots of fauvistic ones which I love! Theres a few rooms on the highest floor just bursting with colour!!
