AOE.Vincent van Goghhttp://collections.mfa.org/collections/315128/xmlIn 1886, Van Gogh left his native Holland for Paris, where he learned from the Impressionists to look closely at nature and to lighten his dark palette. Unlike the Impressionists, however, he became less interested in capturing visual reality than in exploring color and line as a means of personal expression. These works from the collection are representative of those explorations.http://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/1447565/resize%3Aformat%3DfullWeb Curatorial.AOE
