Walking into Van Gough’s Roses Exhibition today at the Met I was greeted by a woman splayed out on the floor in front of a child’s carriage. She was speaking to the child, who had to have been under a year old, repeating, over and over again, “some day you are going to paint just like this.” Eventually she left, taking the child with her, but I don’t know if I will ever view Van Gough’s Roses in the same light.
