Although the artist Vincent van Gogh was relatively unknown during his lifetime, he has since become one of the most famous artists of the 19th century. This program takes a closer look at the life and art of Van Gogh, featuring works from the museum’s collection. Van Gogh’s expressive use of color and thickly applied brush strokes have become a recognized hallmark of Post-Impressionism, and offer a window into the world of a brilliant but troubled artist.
