Throughout his life, Vincent van Gogh was poor, often hungry and ill. When he died at 37 virtually unknown, it seemed that his work would be forgotten. All that has changed, and Vincent is now perhaps the most famous painter of all. The blockbuster exhibition" Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers at the National Gallery of Art in London" is on view through January, but it is already sold out, so this seems to be a good time to take a look at Vincent’s life through his colorful, bold and passionate paintings. Although his works were created many years ago, these remarkable images capture the world in a modern and exciting way. Led by Janet Mandel, a retired 32-year art history teacher, who now presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at colleges & universities, libraries, museums, senior centers, and community centers.
