Bedroom At Arles (Feminine)

Bedroom At Arles

      Class 801  

"Unquestionably Vincent's Bedroom in Arles is a work which speaks volumes about the man who created it, however the painting also stands on its own as a vital and beautifully executed masterpiece.  The subject matter, a comfortable bedroom, is an archetypal motif that transcends the time and place of its origin.  The work, which remains as fresh and compelling as it did more than a century ago, inspires new generations in myriad ways: from the absurd (miniature gold course recreations of the bedroom) to the sublime (complex virtual 3D constructs of the bedroom, both static and animated.  Vincent van Gogh himself hoped that the painting would 'put to rest the brain, or rather the imagination.' To his credit, the work does neither."
