*************
Vincent van Gogh´s (1853-1890) self-portrait wearing a straw hat and artist's smock was painted in 1887, three years before his suicide in a mental hospital. The gaze in this portrait is desperate, stinging and anguished. the corners of the mouth are turned down. The big ear is red and the same colour is repeated on the hems of the smock. The background has been made airy with only a few hasty blue brush strokes. There is something stubborn and menacing in the picture. You can not say the same about Susan Herbert's interpretation of this painting. The cat has big bright blue and peaceful eyes, the ear is missing and the mouth is almost smiling. The background and straw hat are painted van Gogh style and that cat's beard is almost amusing. Susan Herbert has made quite lot of similar car variations of famous paintings, and there are better that this one.
