In-person: Van Gogh in Auvers: 1890

Vincent Van Gogh spent the last two months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, FR before his death in July, 1890. He was at his most prolific period in this last residence and some of his best works come from this brief 70 day period. Paintings such as “Crows Over A Wheatfield,” “Tree Roots”, “Daubigny’s Garden,” “Church at Auvers,” “View of Auvers-sur-Oise,” “and multiple “Portraits of Dr. Gachet” were created in Auvers. This lecture focuses exclusively on the prolific creative burst of life and energy Van Gogh demonstrated just prior to his death at age 37. Presenter, Professor Thomas Germano, Farmingdale State College
