In Starry Night, art historian Albert Boime sets out to debunk the "mad genius" myth that surrounds Vincent van Gogh. Using Starry Night as an example of the quintessential modern work, Boime offers a reading that rationalizes this seemingly surreal painting. Boime makes his case based on astronomical data that proves the representations of stars and moon in Starry Night are precisely accurate for the night on which it is known to have been painted. (From this review)
Almost two hours of audio and over 250 images link the central lecture to supplementary material. Van Gogh's correspondence, close ups of Starry Night, entertaining contemporary illustrations and photographs, a delightful illustrated essay on stellar phenomena in the work of painters from Giotto to Munch, and more. Immensely learned and completely engaging, this CD-ROM is art history at its most inspired. (From the CD box)
