Important Pictures 1
Important to me, that is. This Self portrait by Van Gogh, dedicated to Paul Gauguin
(larger image here)
This painting hangs in the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Mass. I lived for 18 years in the Cambridge/Somerville area and less than a 30 minute walk to the Fogg for more than half of those years. This painting became very familiar to me. The intensity of it fills the room.
