Several years ago Van Gogh's Van
Goghs, a major exhibit of this century, left New
York and was at the Los Angeles County Art Museum (LACMA). It drew
lots of visitors, attention and helped the museum increase membership
extraordinarily.
There were
several articles in the LA Times about him and there was a plethora of information
available. We were VG'd to death with all of the media hype. In fact,
even MTA buses sported huge ads with
his paintings!
He is one of the most
recognized artists ever to have lived and his contribution is awesome for
such a short artistic life. Here are some of the web pages
from the early 1999 edition of WoW!.
