Starry Nights: The Light in the Life of Van Gogh

Monday, January 5

6:00 pm

Location: Shorewood Village Center

It is often said that Vincent Van Gogh was one of the first painters to paint with emotion. In this lecture from the Cornerstone History Symposium, attendees will view the linear process of Vincent's life story through its many halts, allowing them to see with new eyes the essence of beauty.

"I want to touch people with my art," Vincent has said. "I want them to say, 'He feels deeply. He feels tenderly, with a sun that floods everything with a light of fine gold.'"

Professor Karri L. Fritz-Klaus has worked within the Smithsonian Institution and the Museum of African Art. She is a strong believer in the enrichment of our lives through exposure to the arts, history, and literature. In pursuit of those passions, Karri has been lecturing on various artists and artistic movements for several years, offering both symposiums as well as individual topics of interest. Like the culture of art, Karri's offerings are ever-growing.
