At 1:20:40– Lady, mental illness did not cause Van Gogh to work in a frenzied manner. Inspiration caused Van Gogh to work in a frenzied manner- he was communing with the muse.
It’s OK to phonetically say Van
GoI’d rather you say it wrong than abstain from saying it.You know Starry Starry night scientist think there's a message for the future I was so Young I fell in love with Vincent I didn't shoot myself I get it his brother sold one painting for a hundred dollars . In nineteen 80 Million dollars
Amaaazing video. Thank you for this. It helped me so much. Greetings from artist from the Czech republic
I love this Artist. Yes, he did cut off his ear.😂 I like his style. I did a Re-enactment of his Sunflowers 🌻. I did a portrait of Vincent but it didn’t turn out well, I painted him fat. I don’t know what happened 😂. I use Acrylic paint, it’s different than oil. No wonder he turned out fat. .
Van Goghs paintings are alive
Please do Monet that would be lovely
Sure
Vincent took himself and his paintings so seriously.
To say Van Gogh I don't think it's necessary to use the sounds that are not part of standard English. Personally I think it sounds a bit affected, and we are perfectly used to using Anglo versions of thousands of other words and names.
So how to say it with what we do use in English? "Van" is not said like the motor vehicle. It's closer to the German "Von" but softer; so the V is more like a short F. "Fon".
On to the Gogh. Now you know that Austrian squarish hand gun popular in the United States and their crime shows? The Gloch. Try saying this, then remove the "L" "Goch".
And there you have it ____"Fon Goch"______ it looks strange in print, but it works.

splendid talk, thanks
I'm surprised that the Ultramarine blue was more expensive than cobalt blue in Van Gogh's time. Now that's dramatically reversed. Ultramarine blue is now among the cheapest of oil colours to buy, with the cobalts being the most costly.
I've used original Geranium lake from an old tube dating from the 1960's. It starts off a beautiful deep fuschia rose but in mere months quickly fades in light to a light reddish orange. It seems to spend more of it's life this second colour before; if placed in direct sunlight; disappearing completely within a year. I've often wondered how much Van Gogh planned for its secondary appearance.
The sad thing is that we never get to meet and talk to these masters ! Love this!
The pronunciation of his name is quite simple really. It’s Vincent Van GOGGHAGGHHCKOOH. You’re welcome.
The part where she says how he used wool just blew my mind!
Excellent, congratulations 🎊

Do any ordinary art lovers talk about Mauve, Teersteeg or Rapport. they were his critics, his competitors and detractors. Van Gogh defied them to essentially create expressionism. Yes, he had serious personality issues probably borderline personality disorder. But his legacy is of inestimable value.
1:15 The answer as to why Vincent asked his brother to stretch &n frame the paintings is probably simple: He probably took them off the original supports and rolled them up, thus making them both more compact and lighter, and hence cheaper to ship. This would also explain why they find evidence of other canvases touching the painted surface. – Not OTHER canvases, but the same one, rolled up.
james Thornhill was britains greatest painter
Very grateful for this lecture on Van Gogh however, this speaker needs desperately to work on her public speaking.
An excellent lecture. Merci
Thank you for sharing!!!
知りたかったのだ。どうしたらこう描けるのか?あらゆるものを描く。
Amazing
While I love the information given about the styles and differentiation from one year to the next, and how color theory was used in his beautiful works, they should have had a better presenter who was a better speaker. I couldn't sit through another 45 minutes of uh's and um's……..
For the first question, how did Vangogh avoid muddy colours when working quickly outside. Possibly just the heat of the day, I find that on nice summer days the paint dries surprisingly quickly and it's optimal to work on sunny bright warm days, the palette dries up very quickly!
Are you a painter in oils or a historian only.? I can tell.
What?! She is going to remove the varnish? These 'conservators' incense me – they're vandals. Resist the urge to meddle and leave his poor paintings alone.
She's also wrong too – he clearly DID varnish his late paintings as he gives explicit instructions to the critic Aurier to varnish the Cyprus trees after he receives it (1890). Here's the quote from Van Gogh's letter:
"When the study I send you is dry right through, also in the impasto, which will not be the case for a year – I should think you would do well to give it a good coat of varnish"
So he wanted them varnished…..in 1890!!
Leave the paintings alone. If someone else has put extra varnish on, leave it on it. Stop facelifting the poor things and let them age with dignity and bear whatever wounds previous generations of conservators have done to them. Christ, it makes me so cross!
I can't get over how informative this is. I was searching the internet for Van Gogh's process, and this presentation answered that question and SO MANY MORE that I had as well. Especially loved the box of yarn- now I can see all of his paintings as studies in balls of yarn! I was thrilled to see the information about his palette to his brother Theo .
This has been fantastic. I loved the presentation. Thank you!
These negative comments are just petty. This was a great lecture. I enjoy the different perspective. Thank you for sharing.
Very insightful thoughts on his works. As for his personality and the effects on his art can be explained by his childhood temporal lobe epilepsy. We can look to history and others who had this malady such as Joan of Arc or another artist Antoine Watteau. The desire to be creative and fulfill a desire that came along with voices. This epilepsy has been around forever producing very creative individuals some of whom had super human abilities and all being very psychic. How do I know this? I as well had this epilepsy as a child and the Van Gogh Museum has known of me for a long time. Ask yourself why this would be.
i have found a painting that say original oil painting from the netherlands land of famous masters its in handcarved gold giktzed frame. it is obvious it has bugs and poss leaves in the paint it says lake candine arles france 1888 signed vincent titlesd by the brooklet please email me so i can send some pics chelsieannmains@gmail.com
