Comment on The Day I Saw Van Gogh’s Genius in a New Light

Comments

With the exception of the last example, the two versions of each painting look identical to me. Of course, I am looking at them through a 4+NS cataract, in an eye (the only one I have) that also has a damaged macula and other significant retina damage - but I suspect the cataract plays a bigger role.

I'm having said cataract removed this Friday, so I'll have to check this again next week and see how things have changed. I'm very curious to see what the difference will be. The progressive worsening of my vision over the past year has been so gradual that it's sometimes hard to quantify just how much things like my ability to see color and contrast has changed.
