443. VAN GOGH: EVERYTHING IS A SELF-PORTRAIT

Chris Parrott via Zoom

The stylistic innovations and psychological intensity of Vincent Van Gogh’s work may have seemed jarring to his contemporaries, but these qualities have also made him one of the most famous painters in all of art history. This two-day course will delve into the obsessions and idiosyncrasies of this one-of-a-kind artist, who radically reimagined the art of painting. Van Gogh’s groundbreaking use of color will be discussed in the context of other Post Impressionist works, and his far-reaching influence on future generations of painters will also be explored.
