The story of Van Gogh’s life and the emotional response that his art engenders have made him one of the most celebrated artists in history. His innovative approach and experimentation with different styles and subject matter over his short but highly productive career created pieces that significantly advanced modernist art.
This one-day course will study the ways in which Van Gogh’s art engaged with tradition as well as with his contemporary artists and influences, creating works that inspired the future avant-garde.
