How Artists Become Known: Lessons From Van Gogh & Art History
Is it talent? Timing? Marketing? Or something else entirely?
In this seminar, we explore how artists gain recognition through the lens of art history, focusing on Vincent van Gogh and the surprising truth about how his work became world-famous after his death. We look at the role of advocacy, visibility, and storytelling in shaping artistic legacy.
