Mr. Vincent Van Gogh
Life Time Unsung
Too Late Mansions
Never Mind

Dear Vincent:
You must be wondering why am I writing to you. Probably the only person who has ever written to you, in the past, has been your brother Theo.

Anyhow, one must be open to the ever changing world. Hope you are doing fine ! What is the score ? Do you still paint a canvas a day...or have you stopped counting !

You may have forgotten the Belgian Coal mines.. but I still cant forget those gray mornings and charcoal Potato Eaters… Or were they Potato Growers !

Life is quite dull….except an occasional auction at the Sotheby’s.

Do you know that money has lost its value since you left the scene ? People are literally throwing it away…at Art ! Yours included !

Now don’t feel sad if you had been going food less for days… At least now you HANG around in some of the richest art galleries of the world !!!

How do you feel…after all this success ? Hope it wont go into your head !

I was never aware that you too had a strong business head on your shoulders ! Only the other day I found your ‘sunflowers’ in a commercial advertisement. It seems you must have made a fat sum for this tie-up !

I cant imagine that you shall change this way !

Love to asylum doctor .

Impressionistically yours,

WET PAINT
