Expect a lively, fun and interactive hour of art appreciation.

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who, after his death, became one of the most influential and famous artists in Western art history. His 2,100 artworks include 860 oil paintings of landscapes, still-lifes, portraits, and self-portraits. His work is characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive brushwork that is considered part of the foundation of modern art.

He was not commercially successful during his lifetime, considered a madman and failure, and died by suicide at age 37. His reputation grew in the early 20th century and now his works are among the world’s most expensive paintings to have every sold.
