His paintings are some of the most easily recognizable works of art in the world. Quite a long way for a man who was kicked out of art school and laughed at by the artistic community during his time. Vincent van Gogh works include thousands of paintings and drawings that continue to be shown around the world. Such relevance, even 100 years after his death, makes him one of the most prolific artists of all time.
With exhibitions happening across the continent, there’s no better time to appreciate his work for yourself. Haven’t admired his work up close yet? Here’s some upcoming exhibitions in North America:
