When I was 12 years old, and then again at 16 years old, I studied Van Gogh. I learned a great deal about him thru he and his brother's letters back and forth. Combining the writings with actually seeing the paintings live one can really understand how Van Gogh felt about the world around him. Years later I saw his painting "Iris" and was further memorized by the power of Van Gogh. It is important to note that he made his own colors, and bright as they were, this was not a simple process, the colors he formulated intensify the level of Van Gogh's relationship to his environment. He was an emotional genius who was in touch with his environment so much more than most people.

[@annedwyer797]

It always strikes me as such a supreme irony that during his life, Van Gogh struggled so much and only sold one painting, and yet in recent decades, has become so well-known, and popular with the masses (and marketed like crazy with all kinds of merch: coffee mugs, umbrellas, etc.). My mother loved his art and admired his personal story, esp. his relationship with his brother Theo, and my appreciation of his phenomenal talent has grown over the years.

[@Anthony-ix3rp]

Absorbing Lecture..thank you. I learnt a lot ! You also honoured Vincent Van Gogh in that his influence lived on.

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

When Vincent was asked why he only used his first name or no name to sign his paintings, he remarked that he disliked it when people mispronounced his last name.

[@appletongallery]

The worst pronunciation of his name is the British version- they say VAN GAWF. It’s fucking unbelievably knarley.

[@scottlondon8382]

@@appletongallery it’s so god damn pretentious,typical

[@nagolhayze9366]

‘Van Go’ is the worst pronunciation, it’s a verbal insult to his name, and why Americans seem to think this is ok, is beyond any logic. It’s the worst alternative, an deep insult to his Dutch family lineage. ‘Van Go’ is not enough. Shame on you all.

Excellent lecture ! The world today needs to come back to meaningful art, ie. symbolism / iconography, .A painting commissioned to match one’s living room decor is not art. This lecture brings home this point by makes it very clear why VanGogh is one of the most important & loved artists of all times. Every one of his paintings had a message for the viewer. Thank you, I subscribed!

[@normanstratford9329]

A very enjoyable lecture with visuals postulating influences with Van Gogh and also being influenced by him, in life and in paintings. The speaker’s voice seemed unusual and that also held my attention. Sometimes a painting movement can influence the artist in the opposite way or against the movement. Impressionism had little detail and then came a painting movement with detailed realism. The theory of suicide has to remain so until more evidence hast been sorted out and made public.

[@marymess454]

What a wonderful lecture. As a lifetime fan of Van Gogh, I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially pieces created by other artists. It's interesting to see how Van Gogh's work was realized and represented in the current time of each of the different artists.

[@andreewert1142]

Best Lecture I have ever listened to. Deep..introspective..well-researched..WOW

[@lisengel2498]

This is a very interesting lecture - and very well done. And a wonderfull question of van Gogh influencing other artists from a lady at the very end wondering why most of the examples of other artists were German or from Northern countries opening a discussion about different attitudes and temperaments - (I only have one little thing that would have been nice, that each time a painting is shown I would prefer to only look at the painting and not the small image of the speaker in the lower right corner )

[@delam3869]

It was Van Gogh's discovery of Japanese wood cuts and prints that influenced him to change the way he painted, which included the use of color. He even made copies of ukiyo-e prints. Van Gogh and his brother Theo had a collection of Japanese prints that they exhibited in Paris in 1887. They are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

[@anastassiyakim7041]

Bravo, great lecture! I did not know that Van Gogh influenced so much on Schiele's work, who's work I like as much as Gogh's. By the way, 2 chairs that appeared towards the end of the lecture, are regarded as a self-portrait of Gauguin and Van Gogh himself, which I find very fascinating. Gogh's chair is very simple and rough, the way how he probably saw and perceived himself, whereas Gaugin's chair has books and a lightened candle, which I see as a Gogh's hope that his friend will come back.

Zelf denk ik het niet daar hebben wij teveel strubbelingen of verplichtingen is te begrijpen ieder van ons heeft een bepaalde leeftijd dat vlak je niet zomaar uit moet je anderen mee kwetsen ook al is het tenminste bij mij zo een leefsfeer van broer en zus, hoe het bij hem is weet ik niet ik weet zelfs niet zijn echte naam, hij blijft daarover onduidelijk daarmee geeft hij het al aan ,Ik blijf op afstand ,zijn goed recht misschien dat hij zich vereerd voelt wie zal het zeggen ,misschien ben ik gewoon een soort van studie object niets meer niets minder een soort van Art een Art die even in een collectie past en dan trekt de caravan verder ,voor mij ligt het zwaartepunt op een vlak waar je nog vele malen van wakker ligt liefde een ondergeschoven kindje die bij velen doet brullen van het lachen want hoe naïef kan men zijn ,in die trant denk ik zo 😥

The intertwining, the entanglement of Nature and Human action is also reflected deeply in the writings of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau Ponty and I have read seveveral times his very beautifull book “ Le Visible et L’invisible” - and Now this entanglement is expressed through climate changes.

My dearest and closest friend was one of the Artists selected from USA to paint on the Award winning "Loving Vincent" a highly unique film titled "Loving Vincent" which won top animated film in Italy, the equivalent of American Academy Awards. In the U.S. the film was a contender for an Oscar award just behind Pixars "Coco". Imagine how proud I was to watch my Sister live at the Academy Awards. The film is a compilation of hundreds and hundreds of tiles hand painted in oils. Each tiny movement being a hand painted tile with oils. Absolutely unique and awesome movie. Imagine the long hard hours the group of artists focused on it. Theres a documentary covering the dream, the reality and the tedious work involved. The film was produced by Good Deeds Entertainment. If you have not seen this Masterpiece film, I urge you to search to see if it is still available on DVD.

[@spanixtanspanixtan8757]

I think you should qualify the kind of ways in which the myth is trying to be revised. The van Gogh myth started in the 1920s and boomed in the 1950s. But that was the art dealing process. Later, the pop myth was built on the former one. Once the business of the Van Gogh´s pictures was a cashcow they decided to start the pop iconography. For that the serious research and new findings had to be stopped, so the script wouldn´t be changed: there are two mysteries: the ear and the suicide. Vincent confirmed the agreed versions. Other researchers gathered further evidence. The recent "Pact of silence" and the theory of an accidental shot that Vincent in a very noble way turned into a suicide...Both are rejected or put on a shelf, mainly by the Van Gogh Rijkstmuseum. A new script could somehow affect the huge investments and the profits of an official biography would have to be changed. Hollywood movies, especially Kirk Douglas acting as Vincent, have been trash for the public. The pop Van Gogh iconography ignores all the Letters and the interpretation of the vivid images, as optimistic and lively, instead as cry of anguish. Misinformation sells, they took sensational images and sold it unexplained. Few people will ever buy more than a short biography or read the Letters to Theo. And yet, tose letters were the first strategy Johanna Van Gogh used to bring his inheritance back to life...in 25 years Van Gogh became famous, and in less than a century after his death, the myth became immortal...But also unchangeable.

Dear Claude Cernuschi, Thank you for this wonderful presenation, also something that always intrigues me about great painters.A large number of famous great painters (during difficult days), reproduce and sign works of other great painters who sold well, for the purpose of subsistance. Had Vincent Van Gogh reproduce a few works of this kind and sold them until he got money from Theo? Tha k you Sir.

It's hard to imagine Vincent lugging a gun out of Arles into a field along with his easel, paints and brushes, shooting himself in the stomach in an attempt to commit suicide and then instead of laying down in the field to complete the task he painfully struggled back to his room, climbed the stairs and laid down on the bed. Is this what you would do? Does this sound like the usual thing to do? Did he even own a gun? Did he take it with everyday or even mention it in his writings to Theo. Vincent painted everything he owned but never a gun.

[@robertmusacchio9409]

Very good descriptions of artists and tne various late 19th Ce - early 20th Ce.stylistic movements. But as an historian your dismissal of the 'theory' that van Gogh was accidently killed (not murdered) makes me think you have not read the facts of the artist's end as laid out in the landmark 2011 biography of Vincent by Naifeh and White Smith. The idea that van Gogh did not die as a romantic poor desperate suicide was discussed even in Auvers immefiately upon his passing. The 'theory' was extensively researched in the 1920's by an English art historian for the Burlington Magazine. BTW the authors of this important bio choose to detail the alternate theory of Vincent's end in a long footnote so as NOT to be accused of sensationalizing. I always 'bought' the romantic story about Vincent as so hauntingly described by Don McLean in "Starry Starry Night," but now I believe that's a false history.

For several minutes between the 45:00 - 55:00 mark the Professor is talking about Van Gogh and other artist using the Sun and Moon as symbols of universal power; God, so-to-speak. Now, I don't mean to be critical, it's more about not understanding and/or having no formal education in art. Is this a common thing? That is, to talk about potential interpretations that can be gleamed through paintings? For instances, the professor isn't saying these symbols is what Van Gogh had in mind when painting, is he? Or, does this professor think it is what Van Gogh had in mind? What if it's much more simple, and Van Gogh was just putting a Sun and/or Moon in the skies of his paintings because there exist the Sun and Moon in our skies?
