Unfinished show at the Met - favorite so far is a Van Gogh, painted just before he died.
I’d pick two rooms, one with a Van Gogh, another with Michelangelo, Leonardo and Van Eyck.
Can't imagine anything better than being in a room together with Michelangelo, Leonardo and Durer, with a Van Gogh across the hall.
After several centuries crowds gather enthralled by little pieces of cloth and wood with scribbles on them. A Leonardo is the size of a letter, Such is the power of art.
There are no chests filled with gold and emeralds, no food, apparently no one is naked, no clowns juggle in the halls, but everyone is quietly in a trance in front of these great albeit unfinished works. Such is the power of art.
There's also Rubens, El Greco, Rembrandt, Titian.
