Vincent Van Gogh, “Avenue with Flowering Chestnut Trees at Arles”, 1889, Oil on Canvas, 72.5 x 92 cm, Private Collection
Vincent van Gogh painted his “Avenue with Flowering Chestnut Trees at Arles” in 1889. The painting’s merit lies primarily in the style, which, just as in the case of most of his other park views, is impressionist in nature. That free and lively manner of painting, here given an individual interpretation, was only one of the styles used by Van Gogh, but certainly not the least important. At the same time, Vincent von Gogh was trying to secure a place among the avant-garde by following in the decorative path marked out by Claude Monet and Gauguin.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
