In early January, never-before-exhibited letters from van Gogh to  another artist were shown for public viewing for the first time, according to Smithsonian magazine.  The letters were exhibited at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York.

The letters were sent to a painter 15 years younger than van Gogh.  Van Gogh had met the painter,  Emile Bernard, in Paris.
