Step-by-Step Journey into Van Gogh’s: Techniques, Artist mindset, Color, Brushwork and Emotional Expression

"One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it." Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was a man who struggled for his art. Perhaps more than any other artistic genius his story is one of struggle. Struggle for recognition, struggle in his relationships with other people, and a titanic struggle within his own head. Dominick Rimbault’s film charts the final two years of the artist’s life that centred around the town of Arles in the south of France. Van Gogh moved to Arles from Paris in the spring of 1888 and continued painting, and struggling, until 27 July 1890, when he walked in to the fields surrounding Auvers-sur-Oise and shot himself…

Theodoor "Theo" van Gogh was a Dutch film director, film producer, columnist, author and actor.

A carefully selected edition of the letters of Van Gogh. For this great artist it is unusually difficult to separate his life from his work. These letters reveal his inner turmoil and strength of character, and provide an extraordinary insight into the intensity and creativity of his artistic life.

Pialat's stunningly beautiful portrait of Van Gogh's last days -widely acclaimed as the best film about the artist ever made- stars Jacques Dutronc, whose powerful performance earned him a César Award for Best Actor. The film is set between May and July 1890 in the French village of Auvers, where Van Gogh went to consult the local physician Dr. Gachet and to convalesce from his year-long stay in an asylum. This was a period of great creative activity, when he painted a new canvas every day, including some of his greatest masterpieces. Vivid scenes in brothels and Bohemian cafés, swirling village dances and pastoral panoramas combine to make an unforgettable film, which confirmed Pialat as one of French cinema's greatest directors.
