THE LIFE AND WORK OF VINCENT VAN GOGH
If you are planning to visit or have already experienced the multi-sensory blockbuster exhibition Van Gogh Alive, or simply wish to learn more about this legendary painter, this online conferences is for you.
Presented by Marie Chrétien, this talk retraces the life of one of one the most influential Post-Impressionists painter, from Fauvism to German Expressionism, with a particular focus on his time in Arles (South of France) where he produced many of his most celebrated paintings.
This is also there where Van Gogh’s life took a dramatic turn. Between Sunflowers, a painting that exudes joy with warm and luminous yellows and Starry Nights, which betrays intense emotions and internal agitation, not even a year separates the two paintings, both executed in Arles. Throughout this tumultuous period, Van Gogh’s bold colours and expressive brush strokes never cease to astonish in their beauty and ability to evoke a sense of his feelings and mood at the time.
