Description

In fact, Van Gogh is one of the most iconic artists, that has been always a mysterious personality with his special vision on reality, sence of shapes and colors, which make his different from the other artists. But who was this person in real? Let’s try to forget about cliches, such as ‘He is a genius’ or ‘ One of the misunderstood artists’, and dive into Van Gogh’s marvelous world, full of difficult happening, happy accidents and conflicting emotions.

We will base our story about Van Gogh on his diaries, family letters and biographical books. To understand his vision better we will start from the first painting 'The Potato Eaters', and moving step by step to the last tragic piece called 'Wheatfield with Crows'.

Let’s explore together all the significant changes in his technique and style, occurred by personal happenings, struggles and beliefs. What made Van Gogh see life this way? How has he expressed his emotions and inconsistent thoughts on the canvas? How did he influence the other artists in the XX century? At the end of the tour together with you we will try to answer all those questions.
