Leonard Nimoy's VINCENT Comes to Palo Alto, 11/18
The Oshman Family JCC presents Leonard Nimoy's Vincent, a solo show about artist Vincent van Gogh. Inspired by the hundreds of letters Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother, this compelling event paints an intimate portrait of the great artist, who labored in obscurity, able to sell only a single portrait during his lifetime. Actor Jim Jarrett performs Vincent for one night only on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at the Oshman Family JCC Schultz Cultural Arts Hall, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto. For tickets ($55 Premium, $40 General, $35 Members and J-Pass holders, $20 Students) and more information visit paloaltojcc.org/vincent or call (650) 223-8678.
VINCENT by Leonard Nimoy Comes to Palo Alto
Vincent van Gogh is known as one of the greatest painters who ever existed-and yet, he was one of the loneliest and misunderstood souls during his lifetime. His work was dismissed as that of a madman, save for one person who consistently provided unending love, encouragement, and support to Vincent in his artistic endeavors: his brother Theo. The sole believer in Vincent's talent, Theo sent money and supplies to his brother and each night, after painting for fourteen to sixteen hours, Vincent would write to his brother.
