A conversation with author Michael Lobel to discuss his new book, “Van Gogh and the End of Nature”. Lobel offers a groundbreaking reassessment of Vincent van Gogh, revealing how the artist's work is deeply intertwined with the industrial age and its environmental impacts. In the conversation, we explore how Van Gogh’s art, often seen as a pure reflection of nature, is in fact a poignant commentary on the era's ecological challenges, making his work profoundly relevant to today's environmental concerns.
