Post Impressionism Lecture: Vincent van Gogh
at the Kreeger Museum
Thursday, November 4th
6:30pm
6:30pm
$10
While still a novice, Vincent van Gogh, a largely self-taught artist, founded a small art school in Neunen, Holland in 1884. Unlike traditional late 19th century art schools, van Gogh's school allowed students to create their own compositions and begin painting immediately. Laura Coyle will describe this school using the students' recollections of Van Gogh's unusual methods and chaotic studio, as well as the artist's letters to his brother Theo, to explore why his teaching should be considered so innovative.
