Getting to Know Van Gogh

by  Cleveland Museum of Art

Program image

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.
