AHIS 384 - Seminar:Van Gogh,Gauguin,and Symbolism

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This seminar will study the two artists whose paintings, far removed from the constructs of impressionism and avant-garde Paris, would make them forefathers of much of French symbolist and later modernist art. While each offers a biography that in itself has become mythic, this course will focus on Van Gogh's and Gauguin's shared vision of the timeless, uncorrupted idol, their efforts to establish an independent artists' colony far from the confines of Paris, and their parallel searches for expressive, decorative styles and remote utopian worlds that would both shape their art and reveal much about the society and art world they escaped. 1.00 units, Seminar
