Shoes of the Van Gogh!

Manolo says, perhaps you would not like to wear them, but you certainly do not mind looking at them. Thus even the humble shoes may be great art in the right hands.

    You realize that Martin Heidegger had a rather great deal to say about these shoes, right? Well, the first pair at least…

    Many thanks to the Greg.

    Beautiful and unusual post! I was pleasantly surprised to read this in my reader this morning. What about Degas’ dancer lacing her ballet shoes? Would that be relevant?

    I have always liked the top painting. I was in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam a couple of years ago and they have the painting, but no prints. I was very disappointed.
