Vincent Van Gogh: His Life, Art and Legacy – ON-DEMAND (A219)

A – Art History and Appreciation

Many of Van Gogh’s works are famous worldwide, and we will examine those along with others that are less well-known. Before moving to southern France where he painted many of his best-known works, Van Gogh lived and worked around western Europe pursuing a number of professions while experimenting with various styles of painting. Much of that early art is dramatically different from his later works. We will follow his travels, see where he lived and worked and explore the evolution of his art.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
