This documentary about the Van Gogh forgeries leaves the mind spinning, not because of the fact that such forgeries exist, but because of the way it underscores how people and cultures cleave to narratives and talismans that have less to do with any grounded reality and much more to do with powerful emotions which those narratives energize. Van Gogh exists only to be us.
The story of the Gachet family after Van Gogh is one about which I would love to know much more.
Émile Schuffenecker may just be Big in Japan.
The debate goes on, and I suspect it will for quite some time.
And hey, sometimes they come back.
In the Extremely Grim Department, there's this creepy news.
