ART 367 - Van Gogh and His Circle

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Art

Description:

An illustrated study of the art, life, and legacy of Vincent van Gogh, the nineteenth century Dutch painter whose tragic life story and brilliant artistic production have assumed almost mythic proportions in modern Western culture. Considers the relationship of van Gogh's work to that of his contemporaries in Europe, as well as the unique contribution that his painting has made to the development of vanguard Modernism. Also investigates the relationship between biography and historiography in the formulation of van Gogh's popular image as a tormented visionary genius whose evocative and poignant painting was marked (if not also motivated) by suffering and despair.
