Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)

Camille Roulin as schoolboy, detail [1888]

Sao Paolo Art Museum

 

Advertising text of the Sao Paolo Art Museum:

 

I saw the failure of a genius.

I saw the final years of Vincent Van Gogh.

I saw Frenchmen underestimating me.

I saw a master die in poverty.

I saw a remorseful Europe.

I saw millionaires shouting my name at auctions.

I saw a new home.

I saw adults teaching,

I saw children learn.

I saw a young building become Brazil’s most visited museum.

But, having seen all this, there’s one thing I haven’t seen yet: you.

Come. I wish to see you.
