We know you are an art lover — and so are we! That’s why we’re considering a Sandwich Arts Alliance Members Only, group trip across the bridge to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to see a remarkable new exhibition: Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits.
We’re only gauging interest at this stage — this is not a commitment. We need at least 20 participants to make the trip possible. Interested? Fill out the form on this page to let us know. Want to know more? Keep reading. What You Will Be Seeing: This is the first-ever exhibition dedicated to Van Gogh’s portraits of the Roulin family, highlighting not only his artistic evolution but also the deep friendship he shared with them. “Visitors can see 23 works by Van Gogh from the MFA's collection as well as important loans from museums such as the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Museum of Modern Art in New York, Art Institute of Chicago, and Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Additionally, key works of earlier Dutch art and Japanese woodblock prints—both of which profoundly informed Van Gogh’s portrait practice—provide critical insight into elements of the artist’s creative process. Letters written by Postman Roulin bring to life the deep bond of friendship and a major turning point in Van Gogh’s life, as he moved to a new city and grappled with his mental health. He dreamed of creating a vibrant community of artists in Arles, which led to a visit by fellow painter Paul Gauguin, whose work is included in this exhibition.” This would be a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the work of one of the most beloved artists in history — and to explore the rest of the MFA’s rich and varied collections.
