very interesting page- She truly spent her life making him famous- She did a great service for the world- fur sure-

- i watched a video about a curator who discussed vincent’s paintings, and she stated that the colors he used were not lightfast colors, (some of them anyways), and he knew it, and thought he was able to solve it for some colors, but apparently not- like the bedroom painting, the walls and doors look blue, but he described that painting to his brother and said they were violet, and the floor was vibrant red, but when we see the painting today, it’s a very dull red- Wuld have loved to see the paintings as they should be- The colors must have been even more stunning-
