Dontchya just love ’em?

A newly discovered painting by the peerless (and earless) Vincent Van Gogh has been dubbed ‘clogged and clumsy’, an ‘uncharismatic daub’ by a Grauniad hack. So judge for yourself.

Backside reckons he would like it on his half of the wall, even if he had to excuse his affrontery whenever a self-acclaimed art journalist dropped in. Luckily, being mere punters, we are brave enough to say we like it.

  1. Gore J-man,

    I agree with the hack, Van Gogh has had a bad day at the office. This VG is not very good. Even though it’s a clear kind of day, the trees are shivering. That’s my impression anyway.

  2. I don’t much care for the foreground Janus.Is it some kind of swamp. Nor do I like the inclusion of buildings left side of the horizon. Things might have have improved had the artist painted a giant leaping fish! (And I’, a fan of VG.)

  3. It’s OK, but nothing much to write home about, not worth whatever it gets, that’s for sure!
