Vincent van Gogh's Self Portraits @ Norton Simon

There was a new exhibit at the Norton Simon!  They had some new  Van Gogh's self portraits I got there @ 5pm so I had a whopping one hour to go through the entire museum... and I made it work!


"The Thinker" was guarding the front.

 
This guy greets you when you come inside.  You purchase tickets on the right.
 
And here is the main attraction!
The self portrait is very vibrant and seems like it is alive somehow. 
When you look at it seems that time slows down a bit.
 
 
 
This is the O.G. 3D.
 
 
 
Here is 1885 "The Winter"
This one is a trip because they did an X-Ray and found that he was
drawing something else and painted over it.
 
So Van Gogh painted this first and then changed his mind.
 
 Next up is a tree!
The Mulberry Tree 1889.
 
 
They have a cool patio you hand have your coffee and chill out.
