"Anabelle Kienle argues, with Van Gogh's many letters as evidence, that the greatest Dutch painter since Rembrandt managed to survive, in part, by employing a kind of self-hypnosis, sessions of superhuman focus that helped Van Gogh put down the fires in his head. He brings a landscape right up to the viewer's toes, painting with painstaking detail the bark of trees, the twists of vines, the striving thistle. His landscape style was in part inspired by the high horizon lines of Japanese art, which Van Gogh deeply admired. The exhibit brings together a sampling of Japanese prints to provide counterpoint." - Adriano
