The Night Café An Anthology Based on "The Night Café", a Painting by Vincent Van Gogh

"Van Gogh thought of 'The night café' in this manner : 'I have tried to express the idea that the café is a place where one can ruin oneself, go mad, or commit a crime.' We treated 'The night café' not only as a depiction of Van Gogh's mood, but also as an allegory and a metaphor. For this reason, you will find some work in here that does not occurs, in a café. Don't let that stop you from reading ... and 'seeing' what Vincent Van Gogh 'saw'"--Page [4] of cover.
