Roger's Pictures
19 October 2025
We headed down to Kobe to catch a major exhibit
of early works by Vincent van Gogh. Got there early and
had some time to walk around the neighborhood and visit Kobe's
Chinatown before our reserved ticket time. Many of the
works were largely black and white drawings from the
Netherlands as well as dark paintings from that period.
We could not take any photos of those though... The last
two rooms featured some of his impressionist works, to include
an experiment in pointillism of a restaurant interior and the
abstract grass patch shown below.
