12h12 hours ago
With his colourful works, Van Gogh hoped to contribute to the modernisation of art. Irises (1890) is a fine example of a powerful, vivid work. Vincent wrote of ‘an effect of terribly disparate complementaries that reinforce each other by their opposition’.

HORSE, AKOSHÁ:TENS – SPIRIT ANIMAL

Horse, Akoshá:tens , visits me again. Akoshá:tens speaks of Freedom. In this case the Freedom that Horse speaks of does not seem to be my own, but the Freedom of someone close to me. I gave someone bad advice recently, which in the end was me trying interfere with their ability to make a very important decision, one that would effect them much more than me.
