from the letter 538 of Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theodore van Gogh (Theo)

Arles, 18 September 1888

' Now if set up a studio and refuge right at the gates of the   South, it` s not such a crazy scheme. And it means that we can work on serenely. And if  people say that is too far from Paris, etc, let them , so much the worse forthem. Why did the greatest colorist of all, Eugène Delacroix , think it essential to go South and right to Africa? Obviously because not only in Africa but in Arles onward you are bound,to find beautiful contrasts of red and green, of blue and orange, of sulphur and lilac. '

In   1998 it   was   decided   that   Porto and   Rotterdam   would   share   the   title of Capital   of   Culture.

   Then VINCENT VAN GOGH told to Helena Amaral " come with me to make together the best flowers never dreamed before by the human kind!"  

     Helena Amaral, followed his voice diving in   VAN GOGH ' s World.
