The Real Van Gogh - The Artist and His Letters
This exhibition at the Royal Academy shows a personal and often poignant insight into the real life of Van Gogh. Paintings and drawings are displayed with original letters, mostly to his younger brother, Theo. What we learn from them is that the artist, who is best known for chopping off his ear lobe, was very educated, well read and cultured. Our favorites included ‘The Yellow House’ and his final letter to Theo, in which he wrote: Ah well, I risk my life for my own work, and my reason has half foundered in it."
On until 18th April.
