This four-week seminar will examine Vincent van Gogh as a keen observer of nature, a student of tradition, and a highly articulate craftsperson. In contrast the idea of the artist as a mad man, students will explore van Gogh’s art through his application of the principles of drawing, spatial depiction, and color harmonics. Using the range of van Gogh’s paintings in the Barnes, students will look at van Gogh’s creative vitality and his experimentation. van Gogh left a lasting impression on other artists, including Matisse and American masters such as William Glackens and Alfred Maurer. Their works will also be examined in light of van Gogh’s innovations.
