Your lectures are very engaging and informational. Just when I thought I knew it all! I wish my professors taught the way you do that when I was getting my BFA! This is my favorite era ! ❤
I am taking a hybrid class (Renaissance to Modern), where there are a lot of writing assignments and online discussions, but no lectures. Dr. TLC you are really my professor. After I read the book, I always watch your videos to bring it all together.
Van Gogh wanted to be on the spot to paint whereas Gauguin wanted to use memory and they tended to crash in the aspect of painting exploration. After 1890 the paintings of Van Gogh was copied by others. Good talk and the years concerning modern art just exploded into various forms of expression.
Hey Travis! There's a quote about the evolution of Art that you spoke of in one of your lectures, about how art used to be for the amusement of the audience to how it has become for the bewilderment of the audience and amusement of the artist. something on those lines. i'm trying to find it. i think it was by Paul cezzane! Could you please point me ot where it is! Thank you and I love your videos!
Super helpful and well presented - thank you! I'm curious, do you have the link to that paper about the theory behind Van Gogh and the ear? I agree that to focus on the mental unwellness is to miss the point, but I'm doing research for my PhD and it's relevant... thanks!
A lot of errors in this presentation... one of the most frustrating is that the room in 47:00 is Van Gogh room in Arles not in the asylum or the sunflowers are not from the last works (that were in Auverse) but they were made before the arrival of Gauguin in Arles, and so and so...
There are so many conflicting stories about the lives of the artists that it all becomes so much crap. No one can know the truth about them from hearsay. So, let's forget the melodrama and focus on the work itself.

as an amateur painter who is a fan of impressionism I enjoy learning the history, thanks

You put it far more elegantly than I did! Have you considered a career in art history? ;)

Wasn't the bedroom painting of his bedroom at the little, yellow house, not the asylum?

I agree.
what is the different btw Symbolist and medieval art? sounds like there share a lot in common
French pronounce Van Gogh name as Van Gog, the dutch pronounce it as Van Gokh!
Which is why he signed his paintings with Vincent. People could pronounce that correctly.
Oh DO pronounce Seurat again for us.
I’ve never laughed so much!!
