Celebrate the start of the weekend with this rare opportunity to hear about Van Gogh through a less discussed lens that places the artist in a new light...and at no charge.

The lecture is held by Judy Sund: The Look of Love in the Art of Van Gogh.

Van Gogh was a routinely rejected suitor and often disappointed lover whose images of courting couples constitute an unexpected leitmotif in his oeuvre. Born of wistful reverie rather than lived experience, his images of romantic love recall Medieval love gardens, Flemish party scenes, and Rococo fêtes galantes, though the lovers Van Gogh depicted are his own working-class contemporaries, and some of them so closely resemble the artist as to suggest a degree of self-projection.
