“If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere”. -
Vincent Van Gogh About this Event Although Vincent van Gogh never
visited JAPAN IT IS THE COUNTRY THAT HAD THE MOST PROFOUND INFLUENCE
ON HIM AND HIS ART. In the exhibition on which this film is based –
VAN GOGH & JAPAN AT THE VAN GOGH MUSEUM IN AMSTERDAM – one can see
why Van Gogh envied JAPAN. One cannot understand Van Gogh without
understanding how JAPANESE ART ARRIVED IN PARIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
19TH CENTURY AND THE PROFOUND IMPACT IT HAD ON ARTISTS LIKE MONET,
Degas and, above all, Van Gogh. Visiting the new galleries of JAPANESE
ART IN PARIS AND THEN CREATING HIS OWN IMAGE OF JAPAN – through
in-depth research, print collecting and detailed discussions with
other artists – Van Gogh’s encounter with JAPANESE ARTWORKS GAVE
HIS WORK A NEW AND EXCITING DIRECTION. After leaving Paris for the
south of France – to what he thought of as near to a kind of JAPAN
AS HE COULD FIND – the productive and yet troubled years that
followed must all be seen in the context of Van Gogh bending JAPANESE
INFLUENCES TO HIS WILL AND DEFINING HIMSELF AS A MODERN ARTIST WITH
CLEAR ASIAN PRECURSORS. In this little known story of Van Gogh’s art
we see just how important his study of JAPAN WAS. The film travels to
JAPAN, France and the Netherlands to further explore the remarkable
heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of
today. No ads or trailers: Please note that since we hire cinemas for
