Imagine: In the Yellow House, Arles
Yesterday’s replica was of Van Gogh’s
Arles bedroom. The
cups. The rumpled
red bed-
covering
the almost
floating
above angle the viewer
needs
to appreciate
standing
to see
it
all falling some-
how
down
hill. (it seems the bedroom
wasn’t
plumb, he’d said
in
a letter to Theo)
but
to see it
the
way Vincent saw
to paint it perspectively
waiting for
people
to sit to
sleep against the edge
of the wall,
the straw sun
hat hung
behind the head
board next
to the frumpy paint clustered
frocks but
oh the room is so…
See?!
RED!
& BLUE & LIVINGLY
neat!
unrumpled cover. In
the painting
there’s room for two:
two chairs
two pillows
two then
two paintings & one
where
two might
walk,
grasping each other, through to the trees.
