If you missed this exhibit at Discovery Place in Charlotte NC last month you will want to make it a point to see it wherever and whenever you can in the future.
To see the life and paintings of this extraordinary artist up close and personal in the way it was presented at Discovery Place was visually captivating and stirred emotions not usually touched on.
Vincent Van Gogh was a complex human being troubled by his demons and exhilarated by his God-given talent to express himself on canvas to share with the world. God’s Grace touches us all but some are blessed above and beyond human understanding, this is Vincent Van Gogh.
We joined the exhibit on the last day with several hundred others in the course of a few hours to experience what modern day technology can display to the viewing eyes of all who were there. For us it was like standing in the midst of the landscapes he painted, being on the pages of his notes and sketches, almost reaching out and touching his shoulder when his self portraits call to you for compassion. Most of the time the music (sublime) paired with the enormous size of the paintings was so emotional that when quiet came you could hear a pin drop.
