Vincent, Happy

Roy Lichtenstein’s Room in Arles is gentrified Van Gogh. The floor is scrubbed a bright green, the towel hanging on the wall is neatly folded. His and hers portraits hang normally over the bed. The window has a clear view. The red claustrophobia dissipates in the color hatching interspersed with happy white. The picture of cool water sits ready. The clothes on hangers are prepared for the day to come. Sunshine in Provence.
