Vincent Van Gogh's work shown in multi-media exhibition.
SAN DIEGO — I was joined at Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience by Karen Hjalmarson a docent at the Timken Museum, Art Historian, and lecturer on Vincent Van Gogh. We first walk thru his quotes.
“What am I in the eyes of most people a non-entity, or an oddity, disagreeable person, a person who has and will have no position in society…” Van Gogh QuoteAs we step into the immersive experience Van Gogh’s words and paintings wrap the room in light and color, as they move and refocus.He loved the night...he preferred night to day paintings, When we talk about starry night...it's important to understand, he looked at that, and remember he was going thru a lot of turmoil then...
He loved Shakespeare as you know, in sonnet 18 Shakespeare said beauty will last in a sonnet and beauty lasts in a painting...he took that to heart. – Karen Hjalmarson And, the beauty of the Almond Blossom, his paintings from 1888-1890. They represented awakening and hope to the painter. In the exhibit, the petals swirl around us in almost a frenzy…as if to represent Van Gogh’s mental state at the time, which was so troubling, he was admitted to an asylum.Van Gogh created 2000 works of art over 10 years from paintings, drawings, and sketches… many of them in the last few tormented years of his life. But Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime.
