Dear Theo, Thanks for the francs. I needed to buy some more colours to replace the ones I ate. You won't regret this investment in your brother's talent. I took my easel outdoors to join the other painters by the waterfront the other day, which gave me the chance to compare my work to theirs. They suck. Instead of trying to capture the beauty of a landscape, they want to add cartoon characters to it. I watched the one beside me. We were both working on the same scene and I had to ask him where he saw the centaur. And he didn't even paint it very well. It looked more like a duck. These fools all copy the same silly neoclassical trend: centaurs and nymphs and gorgons and togas all over the place. It is ridiculous. But I know the picture business. I know that my originality will outlast them all. We will be rolling in francs, Theo, you'll see. I just know my paintings are worth a fortune. Vincent |
