About the Kröller Muller Museum, Captain Beefheart, a Van Gogh aficionado, is quoted to have said after leaving the museum: 'The real sun, what a dissapointment...'

It is The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.
I do have a tape of this interview and its funny to hear the Captain pronouncing Van Gogh! I think the Captain used Dutch oil paint.

Ah, my bad. "Used dutch oil paint" - to paint or to pronounce van Gogh.. ;-)

I do have to listen again to the tape but I do think the Captain was on about " Scheveningen Oil Paint" One of the best in colors but expensive

Cheers

Pronouncing Van Gogh and Scheveningen in one sentence, probably the two most difficult sounds in our beautiful language, would have loved to hear that.

I just listened to 225 mintues of tapes from the Beefheart/ Co de Kloet interview and music, Beefheart talks about Van Gogh and the Old-Holland oilpaint.
He did not pronounce " Scheveningen ". Old-Holland does stands for " Scheveningenpaint " as well and I have been using them as well over the years.
The interview;

lengthy interview with Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) by Co de. Kloet circa 1993. Broadcast date: August 16, 1993. Dutch Radio.
