[@ThePearlsofGray]

I listen to this and i am visualizing Van Gogh at work in my mind. I feel like I am being wisked away to another time and place and I absolutely love it.

[@simelmar6342]

Van Gogh´s technique and style is outstanding and the most original I have ever seen. He was an inspiring artist for sure! Thanks for sharing this!

[@nhamty599]

A fascinating and intellectually stimulating talk. Thank you.

[@robingrant1965]

Van Gogh, such a genius! I read that he predicted that the unborn would appreciate his work! That seemed so sad to me, but he had such vision!!👏🏾👏🏾😍

[@dawnmillett4875]

Thank you for making accessible this explanation of Van Gogh's working choices. I am inspired.

[@LowTideComics]

After seeing the works at the MET show last month and now this in depth look at VG's materials and process; I can proudly say I am more excited than ever by his dedication and drive to express his Truth. Thanks You Silvia, Charlotte and Met Staff!

[@Mr.CreativeThings]

I was in the Wallraf-Richerz Museum in Cologne weeks ago, and then Van Gogh was gone. But a great van Gogh exhibition! 😊

[@nirvana9891]

Thanks to Theo and Johanna van Gogh that we can look into the mind of the artist, we can see through his eyes. Excellent presentation and analysis of the greats artist’s paintings. A very nice educational video.

[@Lovearmd]

The details about the organic pigments, the cochineal and the viridian, the sand, the insect and the leaf, all remarkable. Thank you for sharing this inspiring talk.

[@bertrandgossart3820]

Thanks and congratulations for this very informative and technical conference. Great to enhance the role of Monticelli.

[@S_Edward_Burns_ArtsEditor]

Many thanks to all. Carry on! -Seb!

[@kenichinishikawa7007]

I visited the exhibition of Van Gogh’s Cypresses I really appreciate this video. I was surprised at seeing Starry Night in MOMA but I realized that this painting is with cypresses. I uploaded my own video. Now I can enjoy my video thanks to this video.

[@hilaryporado1087]

Thank you so much for this research. I never knew Mr Van Gogh copied his own work in his studio. This makes me reconsider my own process.

[@katella]

Thank you for this

[@sandymandy8599]

I love Vincent ❤

[@evelynramos445]

Great curatorial narrative offering, loaded descriptively!

[@JulieT1955]

Great story telling which takes me back in time right into Van Gogh’s studio. Thank you

[@jadezee6316]

[@JuanluisRamofarfan]

[@organicpaul]

Fascinating.

[@evelynramos445]

Huge presentation! from curatorial historicans!

[@toinsola]

I took some fantastic notes. Outstanding work to all of you 👏🏼👏🏼 learned so many new things.

[@cut--]

Van Gogh’s work is not ahead of it's time... It recreated the timeline of art history. It's much like giving birth to a child, it changes the family tree forever. Thank You V.G.

[@JuanluisRamofarfan]

Puré impresionismo!!!

[@AdCreative-ik7dg]

Great story! Thanks 👏👋

Van Gogh is still the best teacher of life, never give up believe in yourselves guys, no matter what, only many centuries later he became worthy the way he felt during his living life.. he was such a great guy, trying to put on canvas all his feelings, those skies so filled of worries and torment of so many thoughts in his minds, those delightful fantasies of clouds, he painted the same landscape for hundred times and still never the same. Van Gogh is teaching how precious, valuable and dear can be the love for natural beauties and still, Mother Earth's paradise on earth is this gorgeous how he used to see it. He gave colours such a spectacular meaning, yeah, when we talk about a genius artist, it's just genius. That does not mean, he could not go out of his minds because having terrible neurologycal disturbs, poor man, I can imagine, he was obsessed painting because helping him forget his madness, the pain, he cut his ear overwhelmed of pain for sure, poor guy

[@WillStephensArt]

I love his music albums!

[@robertknight2556]

Pillock.

[@evelynramos445]

His process and the importance devoid of anything other ahead of his work.

[@audreydaleski1067]

Also love The Sower. And His 👞

[@thewalruswasjason101]

I love how his art is almost illustrative

[@robertknight2556]

[@zuheyr1]

Can you tell us about his painting mediums? I think he often praised not so heavily ground paints.

[@evelynramos445]

Amazing x-ray the laborious process

[@evelynramos445]

Great presentation for its closing set off to travel back. The fina celebratory to utmost greatest of painters! 9:35 uncomparative of any other.

So tragic how the art world works. Here was a poor soul just trying to make a dime from his artwork and died quite pathetically in his time. Now you have these high-brow academics calling him a genius. These same people in his time wouldn't give him the time of day. It's funny how the art world works.

[@robertknight2556]

It had nothing to do with 'high-brow academics' (whatever that means) then, and has nothing to do with 'high-brow academics' (whatever that means) now. I guess you want to be righteous, but excuse me, what an ill-informed comment.

[@ironyelegy]

​@@robertknight2556is that why art is gatekept by the wealthy lol?

[@robertknight2556]

@@ironyelegy ....I have the sneekiest suspicion that one or two public museums in the world hold in trust one or two paintings for the one or two people who want view them.

[@user-oc1ew6qm8c]

I can see someone has been triggered. I completely agree with the OP. People who don't fit in perfectly are chastised, whether it was in 1890, or 2024, in the art world or out of it. To deny a basic fact is nothing short of absolute ignorance. Van Gogh was misunderstood at best, and downright abused at worst. G​@@robertknight2556

He did not go to art school, me to, but gallery not welcome without art degree.

[@SlpBeauty333]

Note to self 14:48. Go see that because it lives in NYC! And I'm kind of in love with him. He's my fake imaginary boyfriend now. 😊 23:44 The Morning Star? Venus. That's why he wanted me to see the last 2 paintings so badly. That's what I saw running around Manhattan in March/April of 2023. He was looking at the same thing in May 1890. I took a picture, he painted it. We were looking at the same event in nature. The same crescent moon and Venus. My crescent moon is pink and Venus is slightly higher than the moon but the idea is the same! Isn't that amazing! I need to upload that picture because my camera died partway through my trip to the Met. But he wanted me to stay and look at the last 2 paintings again. He was sad that he found some other soul who chases nature until she gets the view she's looking for. How do we send him back to the Netherlands without a postcard from NYC? That's impossible!

Exhibitions not making there way traveling this way anytime soon!

[@peterhaslund]

Who is Venger? Where is Aaarh? I'm confused, I thought the subject was Van Gogh? If you wanted to be snobby, it's pronounced [throat sound like snorting a booger]

[@robertknight2556]

These paintings should be freed from their confining, and often distracting, frames. Protect them with a glass wall, and imagine just how naked and scintillating and singing they would be on their own.

Van Gogh like Picasso is master without a copy fellow. Vsn Gogh actually more than Picasso the only one to psint on that way snd style. The touch of the brush more evident even more colors Powerfull and btight snd clesr or vivid. Think of the Yellow or blue . Absolutely a unique painter with not a copy in style. Some of his subject are. Unique not only the sunflowers but the night with stars above all . The rest apart from his tecnique master of the masters is only speculation.of a unique painter with thst style and tecnique. 11:20
