George Graf, 20 years ago

ANOTHER VIEW: Remembering two trips to Arles, and the art of van Gogh

By George Graf  |  When living years ago in Europe, I was an admirer of the artist Vincent van Gogh.  Therefore, I could not pass up a road trip to Arles, France, where van Gogh produced a massive amount of fantastic work.  According to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, he lived here for 444 days and produced over 200 paintings, over 100 drawings and watercolors, and wrote some 200 letters. He was busy!
