College Women’s Club of Cranford February Happenings

“Go Van Gogh!” will be the topic of Dr. Michael Norris at the February 12, 2018, meeting of the College Women’s Club of Cranford.
Dr. Norris has a BA in classics from the University of California at San Diego and an MA in classics and a PhD in art history from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He has spent 20 years at the Cloisters Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and has lectured in classical and medieval art, the areas of his expertise, on trips all over the world. He is the founder of Armchair Art Tours.
Vincent Van Gogh, pastor, and painter, has produced more than 2000 works of art in his last decade. As he had no children, he viewed his paintings as his progeny. Dr. Norris will explore some of these “Brilliant Children”, especially those at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with us at this meeting.
The evening will begin at the First Presbyterian Church, 11 Springfield Avenue in Cranford, at 7 p.m. with refreshments followed by the meeting and Dr. Norris’ program. The meeting is open to the public and all are invited to attend.
