Vincent Van Gogh: A Tragic Painter- The Asylum Year

On May 8 1889, Vincent Van Gogh was admitted to a mental asylum near Saint-Remy-de-Provence where he remained for a year. Upon release, two months later, he took his own life.

Vincent died and posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western Art.

In this program, we shall explore his most celebrated works of art, created during The Asylum Year. This time period saw Van Gogh at his most raw and vulnerable- but it resulted in an intensely productive chapter of his short life.

Revisiting Rembrandt 350 Years Later

Museums across the globe are honoring

REMBRANDT HARMENZ van RIJN

Celebrating his extraordinary art and life; that was fit for a masterpiece

Rembrandt was a painter, etcher, print maker, draughtsman, lover, fighter, genius and a debtor

In this program, we will see that Rembrandt is not about impressing, he is about making you feel, making you live the moment. 

Interpreting the Pre-Raphaelites

This program depicts the historic, artistic movement:  Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The emphasis will not be on the individual artist, the focus will be on their meaningful ART, on the collaborative practice shared by a small band of 7 men in the years following 1848. The participation of women also shaped the collaborative practices of the movement in decisive ways.

This presentation is focused on the aesthetic of the Brotherhood; it will point out that Pre- Raphaelite ART should be studied alongside Modern Art
