Immersive Van Gogh

In a rare case of being in the know, while my usual modus operandi is to be a year or two behind, I was able to get tickets to what has fast become the hottest show in town:  Immersive Van Gogh.

I wasn't sure what to expect, or in which ways we would be immersed in Van Gogh's art . . .

And, frankly, neither Van Gogh, nor Impressionists in general are my cup of tea . . .


Though, naturally, I recognize their importance . . .


But the show truly blew me away!


I had never paid close attention to his brush strokes . . . 


Or his frantic use of color . . .


And there were the sunflowers, which I love . . .


And the lovely music, which at one point, inspired a guest to start some yoga poses . . .


The soundtrack was inspired, ranging from classical, to impressionist to the modern French chansons, including the incomparable Edith Piaf and her “ Non, je ne regrette rien. ”


It was marvelous.
