OK - here's a quick round up of what this month's Van Gogh project seems to have generated so far. Click on the post titles to find out more about Van Gogh and/or how each artist is tackling this project.
I'll update this list at the end of the project and maybe at the end of each week - depending on the quantity of posts.

Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI'm probably not the kind of participant you want responding, but it just felt creepy to be doing a Van Gogh project this month and not say anything. I have the enviable position of not having to earn my bread, so I am at this point a hobbyist.
FWIW, my blog is rosesartlines.blogspot.com. I very much enjoyed Sargent last month and am learning more than I expected from Van Gogh. Thank you to you and all the Fine Line artists for your work and openness.
This is a good round up. Much thanks.
ReplyDeleteOther than some some really bad photoshopping on my part (albeit entertaining), I am attempting to recognize the long shadow of VG's person, and at the same time his ouvre that I describe as "colorist". That's "colourist" for all you English-speakers.
I don't link his bad behavior to his earthshaking body of work. Some pretty cunning, and I think altogether preposterous theories have been put forth by absolute experts on VG.
He had a condition that made him "see" everything slightly yellow, you see.
He sucked on the end of his lead-covered brush, you know.
His condition made him super keen to produce art differently than his fore bearers.
Whatever. It doesn't pass muster with me. And I write these things to encourage my peerage in this project to try to take the "old man" with a grain of salt.
There is forgiveness, especially postmortem. Look at the parts of his work that inspire you, and follow that muse.
I am a self taught artist that lives in a cave in chicagoi go not know what you are doing anyway i can learn more
ReplyDelete"Oeuvre". Excuse me.
