ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Though painter Vincent van Gogh has been gone for more than a century, his work is alive and thriving in a multisensory exhibit now showing at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg through April 11, 2021.
"Van Gogh Alive" presents visitors a nearly 40-minute immersion in the Dutch post-impressionist's work with more than 3,000 images projected at enormous scale and set to classical music. Though the exhibit doesn't contain narration, the creative works reveal an artist who was passionate and expressive but deeply troubled.
"In his 37 years, he painted abundantly enough to be perhaps the most recognized name in the world in art. He didn't have a happy life, he had a life of aspiration and striving," said Dr. Hank Hine, executive director of the Dali Museum. "In 10 years, he painted nearly 1,000 paintings."
