Numerous examples of van Gogh's work, excerpts from his letters, the insightful comments of historians, location footage, and rare archival photographs paint a portrait of despair—and exaltation.
This beautiful documentary outlines the turning points in van Gogh’s life, locates his work within the context of art history, and completes the picture with fascinating details (the influence of Japanese prints on van Gogh’s work and how his art bridged the gap between East and West) and remarkable images (portraits of the painter by other great artists of his time, including Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec).
