Speaker: Michael Lobel, Professor, Art History, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY

Vincent van Gogh has become indelibly identified with depictions of the natural world, from the variegated colorations of flowers, trees and other types of vegetation to the manifold forms of the terrain. Yet nature—both as concept and experience—was being profoundly reshaped in his time, particularly through the intense and widespread impact of industrialization. In this lecture, Lobel draws on works by Van Gogh from the Museum and elsewhere to reconsider the imagery, historical circumstances and artistic approach of one of modern art’s most iconic figures, as well as his art’s relevance to today’s threats of climate change and environmental destruction.

Held in the Museum’s theater.
