There was a great schoolproject at Etten in which we made great reproductions of some of Vincent's famous paintings and exposed them... ...along the highway!

In connection with the project "Van Gogh along the highway" students of the Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Etten-Leur made ten very big reproductions of famous paintings of the master. The reproductions were exposed along highway A58 between Breda and Roosendaal (which is shown on the left), a highway with traffic of more than 50,000 cars a day. This highway doesn't exist anymore. The project was been realized in the spring of 1990, in memory of the death of Vincent van Gogh 100 years previously. The huge reproductions were made by 150 students who had art as one of their examination subjects, under the guidance of their art teachers.
