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.
