Van Gogh's dark night
The world will
always be fascinated with Vincent van Gogh. It doesn't matter that his
sunflowers are on mugs, t-shirts, calendars and billboards, or that
psychologists have spent years studying every facet of van Gogh's emotional and
mental instability. It only takes a fresh encounter with one of his paintings
to draw us back to the art, or an excerpt from one of his letters to remind us
of his intense spiritual journey.
