If there were a Paul Whitehead exhibition then things would be different. All art is subjective GM. For me Van Gogh is mesmerising and deeply moving. Always has been. Where others had Nirvana on posters at University I had "Pavement Cafe at Night". I don't recall getting the same feeling - much as I love him - gazing at my youngest's earnest scribbles in a restaurant the other week It's all in the feeling.

I have a ticket for November - they are going quick for others interested.

Downing Street Cat	A fascinating character too was our Vincent. A rascal, especially when he'd had a few, like many creative geniuses ran screaming from convention and didn't ever walk a straight line. Thankfully his brother understood him more than anyone. But I doubt the 21st Century would have been any kinder toward him. Difference is still detested.
