14 - Vincent and Theo

This is a bronze monument made by the French artist Ossip Zadkine of Vincent and his brother Theo on the "Vincent van Gogh Plein" (Vincent van
Gogh square),as a tribute to the great artist van Gogh. The statue is an intriguing abstracted representation of Vincent's connection with his brother Theo.

Vincent and Theo is period drama transporting you back in time into the intertwined lives of the two brothers (and Theo's long-suffering wife).It stars Tim
Roth as Vincent and Paul Rhys as Theo. This isn't an analysis of Vincent's personality or works, it's the story of his life as well as the struggles of Theo to
make a career as an art dealer. Without Theo supporting him financially, Vincent would not have been able to paint. (You'll see Theo's apartment gradually
becoming more and more crowded by Vincent's paintings!) As a painter, it shows how invaluable it's having an unquestioning supporter who believes in you.

Parks now have such wonderful statues, so clever to find this image to portray the title. Well done.

Perhaps the artist thinks there was not much depth to the artist... an interesting sculpture
