When i first heard about the new Van Gogh painting, i was quite excited, because Van Gogh is my favorite artist and i love his work. “The Ox Cart” is less of what i expected from Van Gogh. Unlike his later pieces, this piece is darker than usual, and not as impressionistic ( ex: the exaggeration of the brush strokes) as his later pieces.
The “new” van Gogh is an early work…and more like the Realism of mid-19th century painters.
