Van Gogh Poets & Lovers at Jarvis Conservatory

Jarvis Conservatory presents the documentary film Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers on Saturday, Nov. 23, at 4 and 7 p.m. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this artist.  Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionized his style.  Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealized spaces and symbolic characters. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Tickets are $15 at jarvisconservatory.com.  Jarvis Conservatory, 1711 Main St., Napa
