SUMMARY:Creative Book Club – “Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence” by Martin Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Book: “Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence” by Martin Bailey\nFacilitator: Rusty Lynn\nMeeting Date: Saturday\, May 18 from 10am-12pm\n(Drop-in\, set a reminder in Eventbrite) \nJoin us to discuss “Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence” by Martin Bailey. The book tells the story of Van Gogh’s stay in Arles. \n“For Van Gogh\, the south of France was an exciting new land\, bursting with life. He walked into the hills inspired by the landscapes\, and painted harvest scenes in the heat of summer. He visited a fishing village where he saw the Mediterranean for the first time\, energetically capturing it in paint. He painted portraits of friends and locals\, and flower still life paintings\, culminating in the now iconic Sunflowers. He rented the Yellow House\, and gradually did it up\, calling it ‘an artist’s house’\, inviting Paul Gauguin to join him there. This encounter was to have a profound impact on both of the artists. They painted side by side\, their collaboration coming to a dramatic end a few months later. The difficulties Van Gogh faced led to his eventual decision to retreat to the asylum at Saint-Remy. \n“Based on extensive original research\, the book reveals discoveries that throw new light on the legendary artist and give a definitive account of his fifteen months in Provence\, including his time at the Yellow House\, his collaboration with Gauguin and its tragic and shocking ending.” \n–Frances Lincoln\, Publisher \nThe Creative Book Club meets on select Saturday mornings to discuss readings by a variety of authors. The club is free and open to all who are interested in keeping their creative muse flowing and connecting with other creative people. Future book selections will be announced on this website and in the Weekly eNews email in advance. \nIf you have questions\, please contact our book club leader Rusty Lynn at rustylynn@earthlink.net. \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery. \n.
