Bravissimo! One question: aside from Theo, who were the other two characters in the background? Thank you.

Another superb and moving performance by Mr. Barnett. Most artists suffer in silence. They like solitude but are not lonely. Yes, sometimes passion for art could lead to an obsession. That's the part, that makes true artists, the least understood. I really like the line, " Success is the worst thing that can happen to me" and its tone. This is a painter's life. They enjoy the chase, for its challenging and alluring. What's there after success ? Van Gogh will live through your portrayal, Sir!
