We went to the National Art Gallery for this exhibition today. It includes over 100 landscape paintings by 19 century Western artists, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin and not-s0-familiar names such like Heade, who painted this pastoral "Sunlight and shadow: the Newbury Marshes". MM particularly like the pink clouds, which seemed to be much more luminous in the original. My favorite is Van Gogh's Undergrowth, which doesn't look so attractive at the first sight--all you see is bunch of tree trunks and grass. But again, what makes Van Gogh stand out is his strength. You see life in his powerful strokes and something burning in the undergrowth...We both like John Glover's Australian landscape like this one.
