So many paintings! It was so overwhelming we had to take a break. A guard told me the museum inherited 1300 paintings and over 27,000 other artworks. There were the classics, and Vampire, which I was so excited to finally see in person.
His paintings are so intense and moody. I never noticed the intense use of green. So emo.
Then in all of the emotional chaos, there is this portrait of calm and comfort
His version of Starry Night
He has such range, like this portrait of his sister, almost photo realistic with lips like ripe berries
Right next to this intense study in linework
So many self-portraits.
This one has a scary portrait bomber
Nietzsche
I think I have a new favorite. This huge horse gallops right off the canvas straight at you. It is so powerful.
And the people in the background aren’t really worth the effort.
Another one that was just not worth it
