Bedroom in Arles (1888) : Vincent Van Gogh In 4th or 5th grade art class, I reproduced this painting using cray-pas, keeping everything proportional using only my eyes. I’m really pissed off that I let my teacher put it on display; I never got it back. What was so hard about this picture was that the room wasn’t rectangular, but trapezoidal. When you look at it, it just looks like Van Gogh messed up royally with his lines but he just wanted to get the concept across that the room had a corner. The door to the right leads to a room that fellow painter Gauguin lived in. He painted it for his brother,Theo; though the first time it was damaged in a flood. He eventually reproduced it and sent both copies to his brother. He created a third version, a “reduction” that was later willed to his family, then put into the french collections at Musee d’Orsay in Paris.
