Seek and ye shall find

More proof!
Vincent's life ended with a self inflicted shot
and Surrealism started with the furore over a gunshot
at a surrealist play

I think I will delve further into this connection

random unverifiable "fact" about him
apparently he could see the piano keys (or notes) as colours. I need to read his letters to his brother,and vice versa for a clearer understanding.

This condition is called synethesia. I had a student a few years back with it...not everyone with this condition experiences the same range...but, for her, and David Hockney, when they hear a sound they can see a colored texture in their mind. All numbers and letters appear to her in their own colors...cool, huh?

Thanks Patricia x
I will now have to explore David Hockney's work
especially as I love Celia Birtwell's textiles and Ossie Clark's clothes
