PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
Saturday, February 18, 2012 - Lv: 8:30 AM
Van Gogh Up Close & Guided tour of Woodford
Vincent van Gogh was an artist of exceptional intensity, not only
in his use of color and exuberant application of paint, but also in his personal
life. Drawn powerfully to nature, his works--particularly those created in the
years just before he took his own life--engage the viewer with the strength of
his emotions. This exhibition focuses on these tumultuous years, a period of
feverish artistic experimentation that began when van Gogh left Antwerp for
Paris in 1886 and continued until his death in Auvers in 1890.
Then, we will have a guided tour of the Woodford House. In 1756*58, William
Coleman, a Philadelphia merchant and close friend of Benjamin Franklin, built
this elegant summer retreat. Today the house is furnished with an extraordinary
collection of eighteenth-century antiques begun by Naomi Wood, a Philadelphia
collector. The Georgian-style house contains an impressive display of period
furniture and decorative arts, including delftware. There will be time for lunch
on your own.
COST: $72
