I took the images above at the Art Institute’s “Van Gogh’s Bedrooms” exhibit, which runs through May 10.
■ “Parisian Novels” (1887)
■ “A Pair of Shows” (1887)
■ A letter to Theo
■ An early sketch of the bedroom from a letter to Theo
■ “Self-Portrait” (1889)
■ “A Corner of the Asylum and the Garden with a Heavy, Sawed-Off Tree” (1889)
■ “Thatched-Roofed Cottages of Jorgus” (1890)
■ “Hospital at Saint-Rémy” (1889)
Dang, seems you were able to at least get close enough to see the images then? We went and it.was.soooo.crowded
(Found you from the WTM/BaW list. Freaked when I saw you were a Chicagoan or near ‘nuf. We read the same kinds of things apparently, except maybe graphic stuff, so I wanted to say hi. I’m/we’re in SWMI, get in to the city pretty regularly)

Hello! We attended during a member morning, so it was less crowded than it could have been. Now I’m looking forward to the upcoming “America After the Fall” exhibit.
