A Dutchman in Paris
Part of the series Van Gogh in LA
Van Gogh’s career got a late, slow start in the Netherlands. But he soon became skilled enough at drawing and painting, and ambitious enough, to move to Paris. He arrived in the mid-1880s, when Impressionism was yielding to newer currents, and began painting in a distinctively colorful, forceful way.
In this series of lectures at the Hammer, art historian and curator John Walsh examines paintings by Vincent van Gogh on display in museums throughout Los Angeles. Considering them in artistic and historical context, Walsh illuminates how the works evidence the artist’s struggles and achievements.
