April 22, 2025 is Earth Day.

Van Gogh’s "Starry Night" is arguably MoMA’s most beloved treasure, a painting that many people seek out for its inspiration and magic. In this program, we will have a closer look at this masterpiece, its meanings and symbolisms and which artists van Gogh borrowed from, in his composition.

But we will also continue to stroll through MoMA’s collection and discuss other works that reflect on the night sky, like Henri Rousseau’s "Sleeping Gypsy", Paul Gauguin’s "The Moon and The Earth", Robert Delaunay’s "Simultaneous Contrasts: Sun and Moon", Chagall’s "I and the Village", Georgia O’Keeffe’s "Evening Star" and many more.

Modern artists looked at the moon and stars in so many different ways, as heavenly sphere, romantic enchanter, light source, planet, shape…and the comparisons are quite interesting!
