NEW Explore the lives and art of Frida Kahlo, Edvard Munch, and Vincent van Gogh from combined art historical and psychiatric perspectives. The talks will focus on the ways in which Kahlo's physical and emotional pain, Munch's anxiety regarding women, and van Gogh's illness are (or are not) reflected in their paintings.
