I got to see this Art show when it was in LA. It was unforgettable
L
Van Gogh was a brilliant mind before he even became a brilliant painter. So much reflective and stromgly passionate about the life that unfolded in front of him that he could not contain all that he felt anymore. Painting was liberating for a while but then no more. He was just a spectator and not an actor. Tried to be an actor as a painter, but just for a while and until his profound loneliness took over for good.
The elegance of this specialist who has no arrogance whatsoever - nor expects his guest as a layperson to have any knowledge of painting - is absolutely endearing. True elegance is lack of arrogance. Van Gogh knew it all.

I am about to go to Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, so I am watching this VDO....and I feel like...I wanna cry for his short life. I understand how he felt on those days. I wish he could live until he saw himself became one of the most famous in this World.
Beautiful paintings! Van Gogh's paintings always cheer me up. It is sad he suffered so much in his life. He will forever be dearly loved by so many people.
The world moved much slower back then. The art world, steeped in tradition, ridiculed innovation. Impressionism helped soften that blow. Vincent’s uniqueness was far ahead of it’s time, even for impressionism. It took many decades (and the incredibly inspiring help of his sister-in-law Johanna) for the art world to recognize his genius.
I liked and appreciated all of the insights that John and Charlie had. All the haters in this thread can take their finger pointing right back to their finger painting.
Glad someone said that
Two things to add to my bucket list.
1) visit Van Gogh museum
2) travel on my motorbike to Arles
Thanks for posting this video. I've learned a lot (I have no background in art)
John Leighton is a Master on his own right, speaks like a Biographer, Wonderful Exposicion.
Ive traveled all over and been to 100 galleries. Folks I talk about it to are afraid to go to galleries or talk about it because they feel like they dont know anything about art. Remember going to the gallery and checking it out is all about the experience, learning, and just seeing what you like. Its not about being an art snob its about enriching your life.
Wow! A print copy of that Vincent Van Gogh 'Harvest' landscape painting I remember so well hung on the wall of my dormitory at the reform school I was at as a boy in the UK. That painting must have made an impression to recognise it from all those years ago now that I am a reformed 73 year old.
Anon A. Mouse do you think it might have influenced you in any way -either just as a work of art in its own right or in association with the story of his life ?
It truly is a wonderful and influential painting.
@@johnlawrence2757 "The story of his life"? Too right. And it's now a part of the story of my life as well. That painting takes me back to one particular 'childhood room of dreams' (and the occasional nightmare too). Thanks Vince that's a dreamy painting you created there.
I’d love to go to that museum Vincent is my most favourite artist
I visited the museum 1984 and it was amazing. I stayed in a cheap hotel (Piet Hein) not to far away from the museum. Many years ago...
I love Van Gogh. Thanks for making this available to view.
Charlie rose almost poked his finger in the "potato eaters" painting!
Imagine😂
Pretty sure they are covered by glass.
"What we have here is an exact replica of his bedroom!" 38:55
"Except the colours might be different or something, I don't know."
Amazing critical analysis. The bedroom's about as realistic as Bart Simpsons head.
I saw this exhibition at LACMA, 1999. Again at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam 2017. You can feel his passion for his craft. Viewing his work, I squatted down and looked upward, sideways, at every angle. The layers of paint is mind boggling, fascinating, beautiful, sad. Seeing the crows in the cornfield painting at the end, I sensed it was purposely his last. He poured his entire being into that piece.
Makes this tired old artist cry.
Just bumped into this...this really brought me tears of joy. In 2021 I was in Amsterdam and visited the museum of Van gogh. This is the greatest painter in the world.
It's cool when you see Vincent Van Gogh's paintings and sketches when you're in the museum, God bless you Vincent God bless you.
This is such a relaxing and informative overview of the artist’s work. It’s aged quite well just like Vincent’s paintings.
His iconic trademark swirls makes him legendary in the art world, imo. Rip vvg.
His paintings are truly awesome with his intense use of colours and distinct brushstrokes but if anyone has ever seen his drawings they are unbelievably amazing.
I am delighted to have seen this show for which I drove five hundred (500) miles in one day, to and from NYC to Washington DC.
Thanks so much.Such a lonely man who still apparently craved for a Solitude and followed his Creative Passion to our Delight and Awe.A man with no interest with the artificiallity of materialism.The kind of person I would like listening to ...
Bingo! What fun!
Great thanks to John Leighton for his careful, studied rendition. And. Almost 20 years on, Charlie Rose fulfills his self-chosen task as the clueless, scripted dullard.
@@renzo6490 Please don't take offense by this because I grew up with American pop culture and appreciate it. But seen from a Dutch / European perspective.. How is this caricatural, sensation-driven, over the top, phony way of narrating and communicating in general still a thing? I know this is from 20+ years ago. But I still come across this unbelievable cheesy, made up, scripted, insincere, shallow fakeness. Almost art by itself. But why hasn't this evolved into a more real way of communicating? Why would you put up with this?
@@vossi6303 - I agree. He is a Philistine.
You people don’t hate Charlie Rose. You hate yourselves.
@@kimparish1982 True. I don't hate Charlie Rose.
One doesn't have to "hate" to voice reasonable criticism or express an opinion.
In matters of culture, Rose cannot speak from a position of knowledge or comprehension.
It's like asking David McCullough to discuss the merits of pro wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper !
Van Gogh's paintings were an enormous source of comfort for me as I was being posted to a place far from my home.
An amazing journey through the brilliant artist's career... 🎨
I love Vincent ❤
This is a amazingly interested documentary on the dutch master Vincent Van Gogh !
What a great host, Charlie Rose, and what a great guide, John Leighton. The questions and the responses weave out a clear and beautiful appreciation of Van Gogh’s art endeavors. Thank you for uploading this video for us.
This tells us how to be immortal even you live a short life.
Vincent is my favourite artist, he painted people objects and nature as he saw it, he left us his paintings for the world to see and enjoy what a gift.👍
Charlie step away from the paintings, NOW!
Really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.
Lord how Charlie Rose loves the sound of his own voice.
Dy Dt And showing off his Wang!
lucky thats his jib, and lucky he does it well
Rose almost makes me not want to see a Van Gogh. Totally cringe worthy.
Yes, and this is only surpassed by John Leighton's American pronunciation of Van Gogh ("Van Go" - Urgh).
Rose is a bull in a china shop
I just love his paintings and have been privileged to stand in front of one interior of his paintings and see them up close to see the Rich use of colour and impasto that he used.
These are amazing discussions. I really appreciate this video :)
Thank you!
I appreciate the casualness with which Charlie does not pretend to have the knowledge he lacks but every time he almost touches the paintings my whole body cringes - imagine how John felt at those moments! Also, it felt so awkward that he guides us to the next rooms instead of deferring to his host.
Very patient curator
The obvious was neglected here, this is a man painting in a style and changing medium that is new. Plein Air has just come to fruition and here he is finding his way around the changing art world.
Firstly, it's not a "new medium". It's the same oil paint that's always been widely used. Secondly, plein aiir painting was being done by tbe impressionists years before - facilitated by the introduction of portable tubes of paint
@@DG-mv6zw thank you for correcting this 78 yr old artist but...have you ever made your own oil paint...if you have then you'll understand my calling it a new medium. Every thing was new to Van Gogh, he struggled as a self taught artist without the aid of Google
What’s the changing medium that is new?
alla prima new materials such as "tubed" paint etc. all new allowing the artist to take to the field. @@the1stime
the new materials...tubed paints/stretched canvas/the new brush ferrule@@the1stime
Thankful for this tour . I feel I am in the gallery.
Very beautiful and detailed video. ❤
Merci beaucoup, j'adore votre reportage. Vincent Vg est un peintre fascinant
Ive always wanted to touch and run my hands over his paintings... love the texture and colors..
At 8:46, "the hand which seems to be not holding the handle" sounds like the exhibtionist means that the kettle is floating. But upon closer inspection, the handle is hidden between the index and middle finger, as it re-emerges.
What a fantastic and fascinating hour. I want to give the Dutch bloke, and Charlie Rose, a big kiss. 😘
After painting a portrait of Vincent, I finished it. I understand him better. He had such amazing eyes. They gazed through things, people.
Very interesting. I really enjoyed it.
This video was amazing. I loved it. I thought both did a great job and justice to Vincent.
Van Gogh saw. Himself as a peasant. He was poor his entire life. His brother supported and financed his work. His art shows how he was poor because he used old burlap bags as canvas. He saved his used paint. He didn't do under paintings because he couldn't afford the paint and in some painting the paint is thin and you can see the white canvas under the paint
Russell Barton ...what you say is also true of Paul Gauguin.
@@renzo6490 Thats not true in the slightest.
@@MrSmokincodz ''Many of Gauguin’s paintings are on rough, unprimed canvas, but how much this was a deliberate choice and how much was due to his strained finances we’ll never know. Similarly, his use of thin layers of paint which allow the weave of the canvas to show.''
Marion Boddy-Evans
____________
" In his Tahiti period he often painted on unprimed hessian, or sackcloth, and in many of the paintings done at the time the weave of the rough fabric is clearly visible through the paint. This was partly a consequence of his poverty, as was the thinness of the paint in some of his works"
Mystudios.com
________________________
''Paul Gauguin lived much of his life in extreme poverty, unable to afford expensive paints or canvas. Consequently, his paint surfaces were often thin and many of his works were painted on unprimed hessian.''
www.carrickhill.sa.gov.au/the-story/artworks/french-artists/paul-gauguin-1848-1903
In 1871, Gauguin returned to Paris where he secured a job as a stockbroker. A close family friend, Gustave Arosa, got him a job at the Paris Bourse; Gauguin was 23. He became a successful Parisian businessman and remained one for the next 11 years. In 1879 he was earning 30,000 francs a year (about $125,000 in 2008 US dollars) as a stockbroker, and as much again in his dealings in the art market.[23][24] But in 1882 the Paris stock market crashed and the art market contracted. Gauguin's earnings deteriorated sharply and he eventually decided to pursue painting full-time.[25][26]
@@MrSmokincodz .. Gauguin traveled from Panama to ( French ) Martinique to take advantage of a law that provided for French citizens free passage back to France from any French held territory. He was so low on funds.
This is quite possibly the best channel on TH-cam.
The Art of Pretence
Save me from pretentious Art critics .
Van Go.? What a load of crap
I’ve been,and you are exposing yourself as a phoney with every word
Always great to wTch paintings of van Gogh and also interesting to listen to your conversation about the paintings - but zoom in on the painting while you are talking in stead of on your faces
My favorite artist
Vincent's not bad either.
"It's more horizontal."
Oh Charlie.
That is the 'art critic' in Charlie coming out ☺
😂😂😂 That’s not the only thing that Charlie likes to see in a horizontal position.
Coming down from a dmt trip looked like a Van Gogh painting for a second.
compare to many artists nowadays -- Van Gogh technique is one of the best of modern art.
Also I like the almost perfect balance between realism and abstract.
Charlie Rose did a great job hosting! Don't understand all this negative comments. He isn't the expert
“This is a landscape.” “This has half sky and half land.” “This one is dark” .... thank god we have a guide who can elaborate on Charlies comments 😛
That's what the guide is for, Charlie's not supposed to be the expert just the vehicle bringing us there and I'm glad he did.
"This painting clearly represents euh..... something..."
🤣🤣🤣
There’s an amazing Van Gogh ‘museum’ in Arles near Marseille which is unique simply because there isn’t a single painting of the artist in the building!!!!
The concept was to invite various famous around the world to paint in the style of Van Gogh. Brilliant idea and the painting by Francis Bacon faces you as you enter the building. He chose to depict the Walk to Tarrasson with the shadow of his legs behind him but Bacon turned the shadow to point towards the entrance as a welcome. There is also one of the famous rafia chair by David Hockney which is also impressive. I have visited three times - a bit excessive perhaps?
Very informative …………thank you
Some great details mentioned here, these two really know what there talking about
Very emotional
Very good, however, I truly believe that there is a great deal more of symbolism / iconography to Van G’s paintings than what is covered here. Having said this, I think J.Leighton was most likely constrained by time . Thank you
Simply put the man was doing what he was suppose to be doing at that time. Creating beautiful art.
this is so good
The Harvest has such a sense of space about it!
Can somebody please tell more here about the photograph shown at the beginning of this video, please? (0:28). Who are these 3 persons? I made a screenshot to have a look. Looks like there are several small paintings on display in the room. Could be small landscapes in the Nuenen period style.. But the man is not looking like he is part of the Van Gogh family... The woman is supposed represent the mother of Vincent? She is maybe Theo's widow with her second husband and the boy is the son she had with Theo and who became an engineer?The interior looks more like it is from the 1900 era. Thanks for a reply.
(Got it: Theo's son, Theo's wife/widow Bonger and her second husband Israel.
God Almighty... Charlie Rose called the artist "a guy" in the first 10 seconds, then waves his hand toward the painting in a gesture that could have scratched it ! Then he does it again with the next paiting ! I would have tossed him out of the building. At the third painting the expert stands him further away thank God... then Rose almost swipes the painting in the wildest gesture yet ! I can't watch this anymore.
Let's just be happy that he kept his clothes on!! LOL
9:45 LMAO
41:44 Good heaven's that swipe was CLOSE
Christopher Tudor Please stop generalizing. I could say a lot of nasty things about the British if I wanted to sink to that level.
Your right ....can't stand him
My heart skips a beat everytime Charlie swings his hand towards the paintings, is he drunk?
just a little handsy
No, he's just Charlie Rose.
Charlie Rose the finger pointer.
Very good talk about the paintings of Van Gogh by John Leighton. The suffering artist paints and not much success unfortunately, but the world can appreciate his world of paintings. It is difficult to separate the artist from the biography, though now it appears that he did cut off most of his ear from new evidence.
I had such respect for Charlie for decades. Working for PBS. Then I found out he was exposing his old body to young women. My heroes are all in the ash heap. Bye Charlie!
It has been suggested that some of the colours of the paintings have changed, especially the bedroom, where the floor was more reddish in colour. I know that the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam has been doing restoration of his paintings, though I believed it was mainly on the creaks . The little sketch of the bedroom puts forward that the colours changed with time.

Colonel Walter E. Thanks for the video information. I looked at the clip and the painting could have been different with the aid of digital techniques showing what it could have been.
The lake colors definitely faded. I’d love to see the colors as he intended.
Amazing. had to stop at 1:43 cuz of the sand in the painting.
Please, come back!
For a traveling exhibit the paintings would almost certainly be behind glass, but yes, Charlie's hand came uncomfortably close a few times.
nadie estaba listo para alguien como el
what is going on with the guy waving his hands so closely to the paintings ?!?!
Its the camera angle. In a movie, they shoot someone getting punched in the face by using this effect. People don't really get punched in the face, like, not even close, but it does look like it which is soo weird right?
The paintings are actually behind glass. You can't see it in this video but if you visit the museum you will.
ktteek Charlie Rose. He's used to putting his hands where they don't belong. What a jerk. You could see the Director was upset.
@@MegaVinz77 putting van gogh behind glass would damage the painting, not all paintings are "guarded" in that manner due to the delicacy of the paint
@@MegaVinz77 Really?
Ty
Super!! 👍
While I certainly do appreciate this video, Van Gogh is one of those artists that is best appreciated by viewing his works in person. Watching a video or looking at a book does not really capture the intensity of his paintings.
That's always true of anything in life including Vincent's art . But at least we can see the works all over the world 🌎 😌
Well that's equally true of any artwork.
Interesting to me: my course in psychology; they displayed his paintings that gave insight to one' mental disorder & like starry starry night, he painted WHAT HE SAW due to his medication; also; in a book I have. the 1sr comment advised, " the rumor, "he cut his ear off," NO -, just a small piece; then the3 book went forward! I enjoyed the new info I learned - TNX!
I like this video.
That was wonderful but I’m a bit bewildered as to the lack of any mention of Starry Night.
Because it’s at MoMA
Ever see Starry Night as a yarn painting? 🙂🧶🎨👍🏻

Every painting Van Gogh did was an oil on canvas, and he seemed to produce practice pieces and masterpieces within a few days. A very mixed up career, and thank God!
The best.
Magnificent
,,,,,,,,,AH VINCENT, YOU TOOK THE WORDS, RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH, THE THOUGHTS
RIGHT OUT OF MY MIND, THE "REST", RIGHT OUT OF MY DREAMS, MASTER !
I am still not convinced that Wheat Field with Crows is an optimistic picture. The red colour poured in front of the picture is so intense that it reminded me of Caravaggio's Beheading of St John.
It is blood.
I believe Van Gogh to be like the Tarantino of the art world, in the fact that both take their influences, which are quite evident in their work, then put their own spin on them. The work then becomes utterly revolutionary and visionary and breath taking. They are completely original, completely evocative, and both became masters of their art form.
I don't recall Van Gogh once painting blood? Your comment holds no weight. They have nothing in common. This comment just shows your lack of reference points for filmmakers. Stick to watching Tarantino movies and drop the art critic bs.
@@pajoianhow you’re unable to see the common thread of creative innovation between an artist and a filmmaker is beyond my comprehension. The comment was articulate, succinct and accurate. What the hell does blood have to do with it?
I'm not sure I agree when the speaker says the bed end is exaggerated in size and the chair is small. They look appropriately sized to my humble eye taking near and far effects of distance into account.
I really enjoyed the curation of this video review of the work of van Gogh - John Leighton was measured and so well informed as a curator should be. Works were well chosen and interpreted, the artists history and influences well stated.
I did not enjoy that the interviewer was so needy of attention and at times seemed need restraint from rushing face or fist first into the works, or into the personal space of Leighton. Pompous ass is a phrase the British would use, especially directed to a host who studiedly refused to even attempt proper pronunciation of the artists name and locations/personalities of others associated with van Gogh.
I know this was done several decades ago and the sensitivity of production values has changed immensely, but I hope this Charlie person had an appropriately undistinguished and short career in this genre at least.
Charlie Rose thinks painting matters. He doesn't pretend to be an expert but I think knows more than he says: he is asking questions to draw out the expert for the benefit of viewers. He also has his craft and all his art interviews are worth listening to and watching.
How rare would it be to have an Original Van Gogh with a hand painted frame by him??? I bet very rare!
I wish I could talk like that guy John
it's ironic that so much time should be spent in front of" Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles" to discuss his use of colour . This painting has faded significantly due to the impermanence of the paint Geranium Lake.
'Look at the paintings' !!!!!!!
Check out Colin Wiggins at the National Gallery for his talk on Van Gogh
Is a book of this museum available; the Amazon books are not of interest - tnx
13:43 very good .
I remember this segment. Geez, 20 years ago? Time flies.
I believe everything good that has been said of Vincent has many times been said . I've always liked his child like work . I love his stuff .
I started at the age of 47 :-)
