A good friend is one of the greatest things a person can have. Perhaps no one realized this quite like Vincent Van Gogh. “At the toughest, most turbulent time of his life, the Post-Impressionist painter was supported by an unlikely soulmate, Joseph Roulin, a postman in Arles,” writes Deborah Nicholls-Lee.

1,500 Van Gogh Artworks Have Been Digitized and Put Online [Shared]

Few artists are as widely beloved as Vincent van Gogh. Although underappreciated during his lifetime, the large body of work he left behind has since enthralled art lovers everywhere. While the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam remains a top destination to see his work in person, there is now another way to experience the Dutch Post-Impressionist‘s masterpieces. The museum has digitized 1,500 paintings and drawings by Van Gogh and made them available online for anyone to view.

Anselm Kiefer exhibition at the Van Gogh museum is right for our time. Kiefer was heavily influenced by Van Gogh. You can see it here with his corvids. But Kiefer is about the memory and legacy of war and destruction. This painting is called 'Nevermore', echoing Poe but also something else. #Amsterdam #vangogh
