Getting to Know Van Gogh with Steven Naifeh

Van Gogh and His Inspirations builds on the scholarship of artists, collectors, and art historians Steven Naifeh and his late partner Gregory White Smith in their biography Van Gogh: The Life. Since its publication, the book has been widely praised and identified as “the definitive work” on the artist by the Van Gogh Museum. Join us for an evening celebrating the life and work of Van Gogh as Naifeh discusses the artist in concert with his predecessors and major influences. The lecture is followed with a book signing.
