Van Gogh Up Close

Filed under Things to Do
Wednesday, February 1st
7 to 8:30 p.m.
The Conference Center at Penn State Great Valley
All events are free and open to the community. Pre-registration is recommended.
Get an up-close perspective on the 2012 Van Gogh exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Van Gogh was an artist of exceptional intensity, not only in his use of color and exuberant application of paint, but also in his personal life. Drawn powerfully to nature, his works–particularly those created in the years just before he took his own life–engage the viewer with the strength of his emotions. Curator Jennifer Thompson will discuss his tumultuous years, a period of feverish artistic experimentation that began when Van Gogh left Antwerp for Paris in 1886 until his death in Auvers in 1890.
The exhibit, Van Gogh Up Close, runs February 1 through May 6, 2012 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
