To
coincide with the first major exhibition in the United States focusing on
Vincent van Gogh's extraordinary drawings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
the Washington Art Association will present "Vincent van Gogh: The
Drawings", a slide lecture by Plonia Nixon, adjunct professor of Art History
at Western Connecticut State University.
The lecture will reveal the range and brilliance of the artist's
draftsmanship and explore how Van Gogh engaged drawing and painting in a
rich dialogue, which enabled him to fully realize the creative potential of
both means of expression.
