Most people walked past these trees every day without a second thought. Van Gogh couldn't stop staring. He saw something ancient standing in the middle of ordinary life. Something vertical and stubborn pointing straight up while everything else bent in the wind. Maybe that's what he needed to see at that point in his life. Something that doesn't bend. 🛒 Get it here: https://art.ecoartlab.store/products/set-of-80-samsung-frame-tv-4k-art-van-gogh-famo
