The EY Exhibition Van Gogh and Britain

When I found out that the Tate was having a Van Gogh exhibit while I was in Europe, I started to make plans on how to get to London. I hadn't made our flight or hotel arrangements so it was fairly easy. I did make a big mistake when I finished booking the trip and instead of flying out of Paris, it was in and out of London (two entirely different airports.) Since I treated the entire trip as one big adventure, it was all a part of the learning process.

Here's what we saw at The EY Exhibition of Van Gogh and Britain. Apologies for some of the blurry photos but I wanted to document the exhibit as a whole. There is a wonderful catalog available here.

 

Not Van Gogh's books but books he read, talked about, etc...

 

 Van Gogh's personal copy after Gustave Dore "Over London by Rail"

 Not VVG: Guiseppe de Niitis The Victoria Embankment London 1875

 Not VVG "du Lourdes" Gustave Dore

Look close: The cat stamp amused me greatly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not VVG Harold Gilman Eating House

I started skipping photographing paintings by modern artists towards the end. I wanted to focus on Vincent. However, I found some of Francis Bacon's Van Gogh paintings to be fascinating.

Interesting books in the gift shop...
