200
years after opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh, the
National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition.
This re-examination of Van Gogh gives you the opportunity
to gain a better understanding of the beloved, but often misunderstood, artist.
Focusing on his unique creative
process, the film explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he
revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for
storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised
spaces and symbolic characters. Poets and
lovers filled his imagination – everything he did in the south of France served
this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but
it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece.
Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century
show.
Made in close
