The two versions of Van Gogh's Bathtub -- oil and the monotype derived from it -- represent my art historian's riff on Van Gogh's paintings of his bedroom in Arles, with its acute perspective.  The pioneers of this loft, my late husband Keith and his previous wife Vivien, brought with them from the Chelsea apartment from which their landlord had burned them out a ball-and-claw tub. They built a room for it here that just fits it, much as Vincent's bed apparently just accommodated his bedroom.  I couldn't resist, especially as I have painted the bathtub room a Van Gogh-worthy yellow.
