Van Gogh's "Vase with fifteen sunflowers" is prominently featured at the beginning of the impressionist exhibition in the National Gallery. It is a humbling experience to stand just inches away from these masterpieces, and there is no substitute for the in-person experience. When you examine Van Gogh's paintings you see the paints almost jumping off the canvas - I mean its thickly laid out. It almost looks like the artist threw globs of paint at the canvas and somehow it was so ordered and arranged that it became a recognizable image.
