Join us for a discussion on our recently opened Van Gogh’s Sunflowers: A Symphony in Blue and Yellow. Jennifer Thompson, the Gisela and Dennis Alter Curator of European Painting, Curator of the John G. Johnson Collection, and Head of European Art, will lead our exploration of how this exhibition began and dive into the artist's use of color and brushwork for a deeper understanding of Van Gogh’s practice.
Exclusively for Sustainer-level members and above, the evening includes a talk, followed by a Q&A and light reception.
