Van Gogh in the Mid-Atlantic: 21 DC/MD/VA Paintings - a FREE Online Program

Vincent Van Gogh’s career as an artist spanned the final ten years of his life (March 30, 1853 - July 29, 1890). During that time he created 866 oil paintings, 21 of which are physically located at five museums in the Mid-Atlantic region: Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Join us for an educational and entertaining online/virtual program to learn more about Vincent’s life and legacy by reviewing his 21 Mid-Atlantic paintings. We’ll see his development as an artist, and also compare and contrast the DC-MD-VA works to several of his other well-known paintings.

Also, during the modern era there have been six major films made on Vincent’s life. For fun our program will include a few short clips from some of these films, particularly as they relate to the 21 Mid-Atlantic paintings, which are physically located at the following museums:

The National Gallery of Art: Washington, DC = 10 paintings
The Phillips Collection: Washington, DC = 3 paintings
The Baltimore Museum of Art: Baltimore, MD = 3 paintings
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: Richmond, VA = 3 paintings
The Kreeger Museum: Washington, DC = 2 paintings

You host for this program is Robert Kelleman, the founder/director of the non-profit community organization Washington, DC History & Culture. Robert earned an art history degree from the University of Michigan, spent the first two years of his career at the Detroit Institute of Arts, previously made a pilgrimage to Europe to see the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
This online/virtual program is complementary to the Vincent Van Gogh tours that Robert hosts at the National Gallery of Art.
