Course Description

From his unpronounceable name, through a mastery of inimitable brushstroke technique, to achievement of cosmic and existential insight, van Gogh exemplifies the misunderstood and underappreciated artist who posthumously becomes iconic and elevated to heights few such ever knew, living or dead. An art course with a difference: psychological and even mystical insights will be aligned with explanations of motive, intent and execution. The artist was without context, mentors or imitators - - placing him in a category and legend all his own.
