VAN GOGH: BRUSH WITH GENIUS WILL PREMIERE AT THE 2009 MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL! MORE
Dive into the heart of Van Gogh’s paintings. For the first time, discover in IMAX the fantastic colors and passionate brushwork of a great genius as they take on a new life before our eyes. Relive Vincent’s life journey through his letters, see the places that inspired him, and the paintings.
Van Gogh: Brush with Genius retraces the artist’s footsteps, leading us through the painter’s subject matter and sources of inspiration. From the Netherlands, to Arles, to Saint Rémy and Auvers-sur- Oise, we rediscover the places and landscapes that have inspired some of the most essential works in art history. From the dazzling yellow of the cornfields to the deep blue of the sky, the entire palette of one of our most flamboyant painters explodes to light up the giant screen.
We are thrown into a unique visual experience where the paintings spring to life before our eyes, so near us that we can feel the painter’s energy, the wind in the branches of a cypress, the dazzling Southern sun.
This passionate voyage, this new closeness to Van Gogh – the masterpieces and the man – open up a world of unexpected, intense emotions on the giant screen. The film offers us the unique joy of seeing and getting to know, with ever increasing admiration, the man whose energy and freedom are intrinsically bound to the great beauty of his work.
