Heather James Fine Art consultants Catie Rini Patton and Tom Venditti from our Montecito consultancy enjoyed opening night for the new exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources. The exhibition includes 20 works by Van Gogh, alongside 75 objects from artists he most admired.
“The grand opening event Through Vincent’s Eyes, Van Gogh And His Sources at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art was a joyous occasion. The exhibition brings to Santa Barbara a wonderful selection of Van Gogh’s artworks, along with other great artists and contemporaries Van Gogh admired and drew inspiration from. This is a treasure to experience more than once while the exhibition is in town.” -Tom Venditti, Director, Heather James Fine Art
“Both Larry Fink and Eik Kahng gave beautiful introductions at the opening reception of Through Vincent’s Eyes, Van Gogh And His Sources. While Van Gogh was clearly the star, I was surprised to find new small obsessions sprinkled throughout, especially the paintings of Jean-François Raffaëlli. Since the opening I have returned twice & will certainly be back, again! What a wonderful and truly comprehensive examination of both Van Gogh’s practice and the artists and movements that inspired him.” -Catie Rini Patton, Fine Art Consultant, Heather James Fine Art
