Discover how van Gogh fit into art history, and how he changed it.
As innovative as the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh is, it does us well to remember that he was part of a larger tradition in the history of art. Nick Caltagirone will place Van Gogh in the larger context of Art History. We will see how Van Gogh was part of an artistic tradition that went back to the European Middle Ages. We will also look at some non-Western influences on Van Gogh's art, and finally we will see how Van Gogh's art helped change the trajectory of art in the 20th century.
The Library is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Batavia Avenue (IL-31) and Wilson Street (the main east-west street through town).
