FPR readers in Philadelphia should visit their new exhibit featuring several unusual Vincet Van Gogh nature paintings. Here is an excerpt from the New York Times:

“It examines van Gogh’s relationship to nature at its most intimate, cutting a narrow path through his achievement, with 45 often small, sometimes seemingly tossed-off paintings… The show focuses on van Gogh’s tendency to depict nature in close-up, either in teeming detail or with a highly compressed sense of space, sometimes achieved by high horizon lines and thick brushwork that flatten the image and appear to push the surface of the picture close to the viewer. It includes a cache of unfamiliar works from abroad, some of which are being exhibited in this country for the first time anyone can remember.”

I wish that I could view these. Please enjoy!
