Short Review
This work by Enzo Cucchi was part of an exhibition featuring Van Gogh. In this work, only his face can be seen, high up between two houses, a typical element of Cucchi's art. In the foreground, a bare, branchy tree appears, symbolizing the torments of Van Gogh's life. His gaze is turned elsewhere, as if searching for someone or something to free him from his existential ghosts.
