Hi, just heard that new information about Van Gogh earlier today on T.V. Would love to see that documentary, hope it airs over here.Will get the book anyway, love his work, and all the work of the Impressionist painters. I saw a great Van Gogh exhibition in Budapest a few years ago, which was delightful.
I watched the video online this morning at the link I posted. It was in two parts. Can you see it at the link?
