Van Gogh and the Painter's Soul
With Juliet Heslewood, art historian and author
In her second talk about the Post-Impressionists, Juliet will examine how exposure to the work of the Impressionists transformed Van Gogh's style but did not lead him away from a subjective interpretation of his subject matter.
Van Gogh believed paintings 'have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul'. His dark, early work of an impoverished society reflected a low key in his own life. Later 'Expressionists' such as Munch and the Blue Rider group admired his vision and created art that deliberately intended to reveal emotion.
