Exhibition on Screen: Vincent Van Gogh
May 27, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Perhaps more than any other artist, Vincent Van Gogh’s life has captured the imagination of storytellers. Delving deep into his fascinating and sometimes troubled life world, Exhibition on Screen presents the award-winning documentary “Vincent Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing,” which will be presented at the Latchis Theatre, 50 Main St., Brattleboro, on Saturday and Sunday, May 26, and 27, at 4 p.m.
Showcasing Van Gogh’s iconic works like never before and featuring interviews with key curators and historians, including Vincent Willem Van Gogh, great-grandson of the artist’s brother, this Exhibition on Screen favorite is presented at the Latchis Theatre for the first time.
“Vincent Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing” provides an extraordinary biography of Van Gogh’s life, made with privileged access to the treasures of Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. The film provides a high-definition cinematic experience of seeing Van Gogh’s masterpieces up-close on the big screen, while offering new insights and interpretations.
Van Gogh was a prolific letter writer, and Exhibition on Screen brings the most illuminating and moving of these letters to life with actor Jamie de Courcey as Van Gogh, tracking the artist’s life from his beginnings in the Netherlands and England to his development as an artist in France.
Admission to “Vincent Van Gogh: A New Way of Seeing” is $12, $6 for students, with tickets available at the door. Running time is 90 minutes. Proceeds benefit Latchis Arts. For more information, visit latchisarts.org.
