ASK THE EDITORS

Seeking Van Gogh

Q: Having always been interested in art, specifically paintings, I've wondered: where did Van go? — David from New York

A: Very good, well done.

But seriously, Vincent Van Gogh was an extraordinary painter, and if you ever have a chance to see his artwork in person, definitely take the time to go see it.

I'm from the Boston area, and I've been to the Museum of Fine Arts more times than I can count. The museum has around a dozen Van Gogh works, and this one has always been my favorite: Ravine. I wrote a paper in college about it because I think it's one of his finest works.

Reply to this email and let us know about some of your favorite works of art and why they speak to you. We'll publish some of your responses.
