The Kroller-Muller museum is about 3 hours driving from here, They have most of his important work.
Yes if you observe his work, one feels the presence of the genious. One has to keep in mind that he had to make most of his oilpaint by hand with pigments from earth, flowers,grapes, etc.. I visited an exibition of his work, but i'm in doubt if it was in the Kroller-Muller or here in Bruges, or in Sint Martens Latem (hometown of the Flemish primitives) i'm not sure anymore about the location, ..pff, hectic time in those days. I'm struggling with Orhan Pamuk's work some days now. "Snow" or 'Kar' in Turkish, he lives at Istanbul, on the geographical split Asia -Europe, near to Pierre Loti's cafe wich i visited many times. But 'Snow' is a very difficult work of him,and Orhan is a very complex writer, capable of making the snow to speak and to have an identity. i'm reading it in Dutch,but i also have the Turkish version, and the most difficult parts are translated by my wife, to make me understand the correct connotation, and the tongue in cheek he uses. This will take me months to filter the alter-ego's that are hidden in teh reflected toughts.
