Van Gogh Page #3

Never changes!

At home, my mother and sister

always interrupted my work.

To eat their lousy Dutch chow.

Mother yelled

"It's cold" or "It'll burn!"

My sister came for me,

never looked at my work.

Women only care

about material things.

Don't be unfair.

My late wife valued painter's work.

She adored Czanne.

It hurt her

that I was just an amateur.

The "chow" here's not bad.

Mrs Chevalier's the best of cooks

but for my mother.

It's ready.

Marguerite's posing,

Mr. Van Gogh's painting.

Eating's more important

than painting.

You can live without painting,

but without food you die.

If I had a cook, I'd let her cook.

I'd rather listen to you.

So you say, but it's not true.

When the food's ready,

you champ at the bit.

Lunch is served!

Come anyway.

Coming.

Each year, he takes Coco and me

to the company fair.

The railroad band plays classics.

It's a bit boring.

Last year there were ballet stars

from the Opera.

They danced

to Grieg's Solveig's Song.

- You like Grieg?

- Don't know him.

My life's silly.

I've the right to read,

Dad's liberal.

Using what I learn is another matter.

A girl's called a tomboy

on her looks,

not how she feels.

We have to hide our feelings.

Men are lucky.

They aren't restricted.

We spend all those days shut in,

waiting to live.

All we can do is

Is?

Embroider.

Painting's my embroidery.

Go on, make fun!

Idle rich girls are the worst.

At least working girls work.

You've lived in England.

Seen those suffragettes protest?

I don't like those marching women.

I don't like biting or being bitten.

I wage my revolt in private.

Much good it does me!

I'm tired of playing.

Take the pose!

No more piano!

- Take the pose.

- Then it's no pose.

- Want to know what I think?

- I don't care.

I love grouchy painters!

My dress isn't like that.

You made it leaden.

The train drags

and my hands are claws!

It's all nonsense.

The colors are like puke!

And your landscapes! You serious?

Is this a pictorial disagreement?

Pose and shut up.

Models have no say

in how pictures are executed.

The very word!

You're a pest! Our guest

kindly offered to paint you

- I'm not talking to you!

- Enough!

Sure, treat me like your dog!

Hot-blooded, like her mother.

My late wife treated

our painter friends better.

This generation is hopeless.

Admirable! That's the word!

The muted mauve,

the rhythm, background,

hands, the swirling skirt

It weighs a ton!

Like a wave, Vincent

May I call you Vincent?

Painting is making

a great leap with you.

How can we keep up with you?

Good news:
at the gallery

I invited your brother.

The whole family is coming Sunday.

I met your sister-in-law, Johanna.
