I've been rather stuck about what to do with Van Gogh. It seems that
if one is going to be somewhat "true" to a work, and bother to call it
"VR Van Gogh," then that places some limitations on what kinds of
things you could do with it. His work is pretty much portraits,
landscapes, and figure studies of people he knew and places he lived.
One seems almost required to do a biography, or a work of historical
fiction. I'm sure this would be a terribly fascinating project, but
it's not really the genre I had in mind.

Of some interest in regards to this is one of the scenes in Akira
Kurosawa's _Dreams_, in which the dreamer is in an art gallery, and
then enters a Van Gogh painting.
