Other Accolades

• In the July, 1997 edition of Home PC, a Brazilian computer magazine, my Van Gogh site was mentioned in an article dealing with websites devoted to specific artists (p. 36). I was flattered that the writer called The Vincent van Gogh Gallery a "preciosidade" (gem). Thank you!

• A couple of months ago, an e-mail friend from Hong Kong wrote to me and mentioned that this site had been written up in a Hong Kong newspaper. She was kind enough to send me a copy of the article, along with a translation. I'm happy to share it with you.

  

  The Art World of Vincent van Gogh

  Van Gogh, a familiar name in which many people know that his drawings are extremely expensive, but only a few of them have known his poor life. Van Gogh's life is so dramatic, and I can finally find a website which tells all about him, the address is:

  http://www.vggallery.com

  From the point of view of a fan of Vincent van Gogh, the designer uses special methods to write this great artist's life. At the same time, we can further understand his life through reading the events from 1853 to 1890 when he committed suicide. There are nearly 700 artworks in the gallery that you can appreciate them through the alphabetical order. Also, you may know the present location of these artworks from the world map.

  The sketches and drawings are another world of Vincent van Gogh besides those oil paintings that we all know. Through the gallery, we may learn the year when these great works were finished. From the letters written to Theo (Van Gogh's brother), we can even feel the artist's delicate sentiment under his pen (not paintbrush) and the society of that time. Probably you can share his memory with the designer and enjoy the Van Gogh journey together.

  It is actually not difficult to own all of Van Gogh's works--download the two information files and make your computer into a Van Gogh museum!!

  Once there was a friend asking me whether Van Gogh cut his left ear or right ear, actually the answer can be found in the gallery, search it yourself!!

• The December, 1997 issue of J.D. Press magazine from Japan reviewed my site. Here's a translation:

  This is a page of Vincent van Gogh. This page includes more than 1,300 of his articles, and is renewing now. Because of too many articles, this page has a search function. When you want to show the articles by Gogh, this page is very useful for you and satisfies you.
