Title

Van Gogh & Japan

Taglines
The untold story on Van Gogh's art.
Overview

"I envy the Japanese" Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. In the exhibition on which this film is based - VAN GOGH & JAPAN at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam - one can see why. Though Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan it is the country that had the most profound influence on him and his art. 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. The film travels not only to France and the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of today.

Van Gogh et le Japon

Overview

« J’envie les Japonais », écrivait Van Gogh à son frère, Théo. Grâce à l’exposition sur laquelle est basé ce film, « Van Gogh et le Japon », au musée Van Gogh d’Amsterdam, on comprend pourquoi. Bien que Vincent Van Gogh n’ait jamais visité le Japon, il reste le pays qui a eu le plus d’influence sur lui et son œuvre. En se rendant dans les galeries d’art japonais à Paris et en créant sa propre image du Japon après des recherches approfondies, des collections d’estampes et de longues discussions avec d’autres artistes, la découverte des œuvres japonaises entraîna la carrière de Van Gogh dans une nouvelle direction très excitante.
