Reuven Rubin (1893-1974, Israeli) ~ Les Oliviers, 1958

🌿I made an animation about Bertolli’s extra virgin olive oil. 🌿

On 20 January 1890, Vincent van Gogh sent his painting of “women in the orchard with olive trees” to his sister Wilhelmina, with a letter: I often think of Holland, of our youth in the past - for the very reason that I feel entirely in the country here. And yet I am aging, you know, and it seems to me that life is passing by more rapidly, and that the responsibilities are more serious, and that the question of how to make up for lost time is more critical, and that it is harder to do the day's work, and that the future is more mysterious and, dear me, a little more gloomy.”
