“Love many things, for therein lies the true strength,” Vincent van Gogh once said, “and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.” What did Van Gogh love? In SBMA’s newly renovated exhibition spaces, more than 15 works of art by Van Gogh are presented among more than 125 works by artists he admired—talents from Jean Béraud to Adolphe Monticelli to James Tissot, not to mention Eugène Delacroix and Claude Monet. —E.C.
