“The artist’s friend, Bernard, provided a fascinating insight into this novel working method. He recalled witnessing Van Gogh, ‘With a large canvas slung on his back, he set off on his journey. He then split it up into so many compartments, depending on the subjects. When evening came, he brought it back, filled up, like a little mobile museum, in which all the emotions of his day were captured. Stretches of the Seine full of boats, islands with blue swings, smart restaurants and multi-colored awnings, oleanders, corners of abandoned parks, and properties for sale’ (quoted in ibid.).”
