Surely enough you could name one or two masterful painters and he would be among one of those or — maybe — would he even be your favorite? What’s certain is that Vincent Willem Van Gogh is one of the grand masters of post-Impressionism and an influential figure of Western Art.
What if you could immerse yourself in a gripping combination of light, color and music set to some of Van Gogh’s 2,100 artworks — would you jump on the opportunity?! Well, this is all what the international “Van Gogh Alive” exhibition is about. After traveling around the globe and due to high demand, it is back in Switzerland. So we decided that we would make you enjoy the magnificent exhibition in Zürich, Switzerland. Through these Covid-19 times, Art is even more appreciated!
The new digital exhibition of the MAAG Halle proposes an immersion in the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh himself. Spreading over the entire space, this new visual and sound creation retraces the intense life of the tormented artist, a genius ignored during his lifetime, who turned painting upside down.
The exhibition covers Van Gogh's immense artwork catalog, which evolved radically over the years, from Potato Eaters (1885), to Sunflowers (1888), to The Starry Night (1889) and The Bedroom (1889). The MAAG Halle reveals the expressive and powerful brush strokes of the Dutch painter and is illuminated by the bold colors of his canvases with an unmatched style — all set to classical music.
So we truly hope you will enjoy this post just like a Dvorak’s masterpiece.
