"Why does everyone love Van Gogh? A brief history of greatness" It seems everyone knows about Van Gogh. The artist who cut off his ear. The author of "The Starry Night." The man who sold only one painting during his lifetime. But why, more than a hundred years later, has he become one of the most beloved artists in the world? Why do his works draw million-strong queues at museums, and why does his story continue to inspire people of the most varied professions? Let's talk without boring terms and stereotypes: about his life, his great paintings, and how an unrecognized artist became a global legend. We will talk about various things: - we'll break down his main masterpieces - we'll discuss Van Gogh's main achievement - the birth of the artist's personality - we'll discuss the people who made him famous and what role marketing plays here - we'll debunk romantic myths and see the real person behind this face. Arthur's lectures attract hundreds of people in more than 20 major cities around the world (from London to Almaty) with their lightness, accessibility, and abundance of humor, while this in no way harms the volume and freshness of the material. Arthur has found a way to teach the audience to understand art easily and enjoyably, speaking to them in an accessible modern language. It's no wonder he is the first person to gather 1.6M followers on TikTok, creating exclusively educational content. https://www.tiktok.com/@cheh_artur?_t=8efONqAtvXN&_r=1 https://instagram.com/cheh_artur?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Cultural organizer So people https://www.instagram.com/so.people.pl?obrf=MXhsM2cxOWRwN3JyMw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr The lecture is held in Russian Lecture duration - 3 hours (with a break After purchase, tickets will be sent to your email or spam folder
