I've seen three Van Gogh exhibits and this one is my second favorite. It's all AV on the walls and floor. Interesting music. Lots of cgi effects and parts of his paintings. I'd go again if it wasn't full of annoying twads.

The first and fav exhibit was the Van Gogh art collection in DC. Paid $20 for free tickets but didn't have to wait in line for three more hours. All original paintings. They looked like vibrant topo maps.

The second was at the Denver Museum and it was sketches and pencil drawings. Interesting but not overwhelming.

Van Gogh is my #1 and Dahli is a close second. I grew up with Remington and Russell, so any other artist is hard to beat.

I wouldn't recognize Van Gogh fron Van Neighbor's Kindergartener's painting. I believe I am a simpleton because I just do not understand the outrageous price paid for paintings and sculptures.

...or even looking at said paintings and sculptures.

We went to the one down here in Phoenix and were both disappointed. It was entertaining and very cool way to display the work but it wasn’t worth the $$.

For me I went in knowing almost nothing about him and was hoping to learn more about the man and his life and how it tied into the paintings. This exhibit did nothing to educate me on Van Gough.

I didn't get Van Gogh until I saw them in person. I was pretty mesmerized.

AV displays are the new way to display or immerse us in older art. I like it as long as the original is available nearby for study. The MTV generation seemingly needs to see and hear things.

Different strokes for different folks. Glad you enjoy it. To me, Van Gogh's works are great for kitchen or bathroom tile but for hanging a print or painting on my wall, I prefer the artwork of Paul & Chris Calle, Remington, Titian, Alex Ross, Jay Anacleto, Alan Bean, Robert McCall, etc. My mother likes Monet, who I could never get into -- great use of light but horrible detail work.

I really wanted to go see that, but it would have cost me $250 to bring the family. Ouch.

Aloha Shooter's taste reminds me of the works that were done to glorify government and religion conquests and battles. When the population didn't know how to read and the free press wasn't available. Works of art were done to illustrate events, individuals and concepts. Impressionism broke away from that theme.

I am an Al Jaffee fan.

Hope that doesn't made you mad.

I am not a Paul Gauguin fan, but any Paul Gauguin fan here?

A friend of mine was discussing Matisse with a lady friend and I chimed in that I really liked Matisse. Then I asked. “That’s by Rickman, right?”.
My friend took a moment to catch on. The lady had no idea what I was talking about but her husband was doing his best not to laugh and another guy at the table blew beer out his nose.

As little as I know of Art, Van Gogh is one I like very much. Thanks for posting.

Matisse story is priceless. I had a 79 Triumph with a bent frame and should have bought one.
