Summary: <p>He may be one of art history’s <strong>most iconic artists</strong> but there is a lot to <u><strong>Vincent Van Gogh</strong></u> which has become myth and legend - and some of it more damaging to his repetition than you might expect!!</p> <p>This week I am joined by Yorkshire based artist Mimi (Millie) Cullen to discuss the one, the only - Vincent Van Gogh.</p> <p>Mini takes a drive into Van Gogh life, his mental health struggles, discuss how ‘the ear’ incident (isn’t what it seems to be) and the love between Vincent and his brother Theo.</p> <p>We discuss three iconic works and discuss how being such a famous artist in death, is actually, sometimes, a bad thing. As people (aka me) tend to think there is nothing new to learn.</p> <p>It's a great episode with a great guest! </p> <p>ENJOY!!</p> <p><u><strong>For further information & learning:</strong></u></p> <p>Vincent Sunflowers talk at the National Gallery: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4YGUAHPJU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4YGUAHPJU</a></p> <p>Sunflowers: <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-01-25/van-gogh27s-sunflower-paintings-reunited-in-london/5218680">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-01-25/van-gogh27s-sunflower-paintings-reunited-in-london/5218680</a></p> <p>Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear: <a href="https://courtauld.ac.uk/highlights/self-portrait-with-bandaged-ear/">https://courtauld.ac.uk/highlights/self-portrait-with-bandaged-ear/</a></p> <p>Starry Night: <a href="https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-starry-night/bgEuwDxel93-Pg?hl=en-GB">https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-starry-night/bgEuwDxel93-Pg?hl=en-GB</a></p> <p>Starry night Video Khan Academy: <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/avant-garde-france/post-impressionism/v/vincent-van-gogh-the-starry-night">https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/avant-garde-france/post-impressionism/v/vincent-van-gogh-the-starry-night</a></p> <p>Starry Night - Great art explained in 15 minutes: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk9L1N9bRRE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk9L1N9bRRE</a></p> <p>Van Gogh Letters translated: <a href="http://vangoghletters.org/vg/by_period.html">http://vangoghletters.org/vg/by_period.html</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jos-art-history-podcast/message
