In their masterpieces is everything you could find out in a conversation. Mostly about the things they could not speak out freely, without being judged or rejected. Their work is the mirror of their souls.

Van Gogh is my favorite artist He was able to express his emotions and thoughts through a brush or pen. That and more is why he has a special place in my heart and Vante’s

Thank you for the interesting presentation.The Art historian mentioned the new technology capable of analyzing much better the weaving of canvasses and helpful to identify the chronology of their creation in relation to other paintings done on a same batch of canvas. This is called "Thread Count" and the expertise is also called "TCR" which stands for "Thread Count Report". This technique which is now a very important part of art expertise not only for canvasses attributed to Van Gogh but also to more ancient masters, was pioneered by Proffessor Johnson from the USA who has a lot of merit for having contributed with his mathematic algorythms to the initially unrelated field of art expertise. I like to mention this here including his name because in the presentation were just mentionned "scientists". Professor Johnson continues to build up a very rich database of thousands of canvas "TCR" which indeed constitute a kind of growing genealogy of the several masters oeuvres he is now involved in.

Incredibly interesting. Having studied this artist for decades, I remain utterly amazed at his monumental prolific output, and each piece with such intense originality. By force of his will he became almost incomprehensibly skilled. It can be hard to believe, but there are some people who deny Vincent's true abilities. What I would say to them is that they should pick up a tool to draw or paint, and give it a try. They will quickly see how difficult it is. His vision is inimitable.

I could listen to ideas on Vincent Van Gogh all day long!

Van Gogh was a Beast it’s amazing how much talent he had

I love the late Van Gogh and studied his technique I made stretchers of the same size and used similar size brushes ,looked closely at his under painting and compositions ,you start to realize that he had many contrasts in surface and drawing line ,it's always horrible to see the clumsy way people paint usually with one brush backwards and forwards with no thought ,every part of Van Gogh paintings is drawn ,but they are all very different ,for instant the ( road Menders ) the trees have thick solid lines whereas the workers are sketched in thin red lines and are white whereas a lady passing is solid black ,the foreground of rubble is greys and blues at the bottom in contrast with the yellow at the top of the leaves .To paint this fast in oils you need a lot of clean brushes , one mark , you discard your brush ,take up clean brush make mark discard and so on ,this way you have to decide on every stroke ,when you run out of brushes ,you stop clean them all and begin again .The undulating form of the ground and the sky and the landscape was captured in Vincent's brushwork so beautiful ,field with stacks of wheat is one of my favs .exaggerate the essential and leave the rest vague ,great quote of his .

Thank you for this. I will never get tired of learning about Vincent. His life and letters to Theo are a work of art in themselves.

I can't get over how informative this is. I was searching the internet for Van Gogh's process, and this presentation answered that question and SO MANY MORE that I had as well. Especially loved the box of yarn- now I can see all of his paintings as studies in balls of yarn! I was thrilled to see the information about his palette to his brother Theo .

@Ellie5621 HA! I only laugh because I can barely draw stick men much less paint a picture. I thoroughly enjoy taking in what others have created, and it's amazing people can create such meaning and beauty through painting/drawing art. Like everyone else, I'm sure, I'll look at something and think to myself, I'd love to do that! I get these ideas about a painting in my mind, but then I think no way I could do that. Then, I'll watch videos like this one and read comments of folks discussing a specific technique about drawing and painting, then I'll think. Even if I could potentially create the picture in my head, I'm reminded, oh! Wait. There's an entire other extensive study of art. How to actually do it:) HA!

I really love this...what a great way to describe the evolution of his work. Adds so much more to our understanding and appreciation of this wonderful artist..Thumbs up Lydia - thanks for this video!

You can capture the soul and vail of existence without illustrating realistically. And we have cameras now that can do that.

Amazing X-ray images. Sends goosebumps through me. I’m also impressed with primary color usage.

Thank you for sharing! So valuable video! I really enjoy watching and learn a lot!

Tremendous work.I can't draw a stickman.I try to do what he did with photographs.I mean I can try at least.But seeing his paintings makes photography look like a kids play.No camera can capture textures and colors in such a beautiful way.

Great to listen to your lecture and truly inspiring to go deep into his technique because his painting style is very sensuous, very unique and you can somehow feel the movements of the colors as a strong vibration of your whole bodymind. But I also think that Van Gogh’s paintings in a very strong manner show what artistic quality is: that the painting effects you in a very direct way in the present. The history and all the technical details are interesting but it is the painting that tell a story that can move us again and again. I do love to watch his paintings and truly appreciate this modern way of experiencing them even if it is only on a screen -

This was so fantastic. Nice to see someone take Van Gogh work so seriously instead of just talking about his sad life.

Dear Lydia Vagts, Thank you for this wondefull presenation,there is somthing that always intrigues me about great painters.Did Vincent Van Gogh paint, reproduce and sign works of other great apinters in order to sell them for subsistance(during difficult times) while waiting for his brother money to come.Thank you dear Lydia

Thank You for the Video. I myself believe that he never through away paint. When he had unfinish pieces. Say he had left over Blue or Brown. He would use the excess paint quickly addind the left over oaint to the pieces accordingly. I have painted many of his Master Pieces. I find that the Process is a slow processs. By adding pigment to them I smaller amounts of paint. Quickly or Rapidly but always with Authority. I have heard that he sometimes did Two to Three. I struggle to complete just one a day. But adding color here and there allows me to end up with Several or More a Month. I caught betreen Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Oscar Monet.

The surface of the 2 pieces to be restored (1:11:12 ) may not look as natural as Van Gogh had wanted, but it appears to me that the top layer is there to protect the color and keeps the pigment in place. These 2 at the end of the talk seem lovely and vibrant on my monitor. Unless it has discolored or in some way damaged the piece I would rather it be left alone. Anyone else agree/disagree?

I'm surprised that the Ultramarine blue was more expensive than cobalt blue in Van Gogh's time. Now that's dramatically reversed. Ultramarine blue is now among the cheapest of oil colours to buy, with the cobalts being the most costly. I've used original Geranium lake from an old tube dating from the 1960's. It starts off a beautiful deep fuschia rose but in mere months quickly fades in light to a light reddish orange. It seems to spend more of it's life this second colour before; if placed in direct sunlight; disappearing completely within a year. I've often wondered how much Van Gogh planned for its secondary appearance.

Vincent was a fan of illustrators and collected illustrations which inspired some of his works.

very interesting thanks amazing information

For the first question, how did Vangogh avoid muddy colours when working quickly outside. Possibly just the heat of the day, I find that on nice summer days the paint dries surprisingly quickly and it's optimal to work on sunny bright warm days, the palette dries up very quickly!

Its great, thank you!

Thank you so much for realising these videos for public worldwide!

True. In his letters to Theo he talks about his desire to draw and paint fast. He finished a few paintings in as little as an hour. Towards the end of his life he would finish 2-3 paintings a day. He also talked about capturing the essentials and leaving the rest vague. Allowing the under painting to show through isn’t always intentional, it just happens when the goal is quick expression.

The best video and explanation about the painting process in XIX century, congrats!!!

This is awesome. Also the first question is exactly what I was wondering as well. 1:13:06 nice lesson!

An excellent lecture. Merci

Cool stuff :)

To say Van Gogh I don't think it's necessary to use the sounds that are not part of standard English. Personally I think it sounds a bit affected, and we are perfectly used to using Anglo versions of thousands of other words and names. So how to say it with what we do use in English? "Van" is not said like the motor vehicle. It's closer to the German "Von" but softer; so the V is more like a short F. "Fon". On to the Gogh. Now you know that Austrian squarish hand gun popular in the United States and their crime shows? The Gloch. Try saying this, then remove the "L" "Goch". And there you have it _____"Fon Goch"_______ it looks strange in print, but it works.

Most of us anglophones say "van goff" - it's far from ideal, and as you say, you can get a better approximation without having to use the Dutch -gh sound - but I really have no idea why Americans say "van go", it's completely bizarre.

Its not the canvas that shrinks and expands, its the timber strecher frames.

Thanks a lot for this an excelent presentation.

First question; Who's Van Gogh?

audio too quiet

Very insightful thoughts on his works. As for his personality and the effects on his art can be explained by his childhood temporal lobe epilepsy. We can look to history and others who had this malady such as Joan of Arc or another artist Antoine Watteau. The desire to be creative and fulfill a desire that came along with voices. This epilepsy has been around forever producing very creative individuals some of whom had super human abilities and all being very psychic. How do I know this? I as well had this epilepsy as a child and the Van Gogh Museum has known of me for a long time. Ask yourself why this would be.

An excellent presentation on Van Gogh's techniques and methods.

How can I listen it as a Turkish

If Vincent was watching this lecture he would learn a lot about himself and painting

Do any ordinary art lovers talk about Mauve, Teersteeg or Rapport. they were his critics, his competitors and detractors. Van Gogh defied them to essentially create expressionism. Yes, he had serious personality issues probably borderline personality disorder. But his legacy is of inestimable value.
