Vincent in Paris
(Summer 1887)
 

I saw (Père) Tanguy yesterday and he put a canvas I had just done in his window, I’ve done four since you left, and I have a big one on the go. I’m well aware that these big, long canvases are hard to sell, but in time people will see that there’s open air and good cheer in them. Now the whole lot will make a decoration for a dining room or a house in the country.

From a letter to Theo van Gogh, Date: Paris, between about Saturday, 23 and about Monday, 25 July 1887
