An Interesting talk in the front of Van Gogh's Self-Poitrait


Standing in front of this self-portrait of Van Gogh, in the National Gallery of Art, I was enjoying the great painter who created so much lovely paintings.
 
Two men, who didn't know each other, were also standing in front of it and had a casual conversation.
A: "It is an amazing work, isn't it?"

B: "Exactly! Also, this is when he hasn't cut his left ear, how handsome he is!"

A: "The funny thing is that he is wearing a blue suit, but the background......"

B stared at A, in surprise, and interrupt A, said "That's exactly what I want to say, the background is also blue. But how could he made it so clearly that they are separate?"

A and B smiled at each other. 
 
It's a precious experience to meet some strangers who have the same feelings as you towards arts, that's why I cherish this conversation so much. 
 
Hope we all can experience some special things like this, someday.
