Cypresses Vincent van Gogh at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

No self-portraits, no sunflowers, but glimpses of death: The New York Met presents its ingenious exhibition "Van Gogh's Cypresses".

Van Gogh is always working. Every museum in the world knows that. People also come to smaller venues, such as the picturesque but not large Kunsthalle Bremen, to see original paintings by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh.
