Van Gogh
Description
In many ways Vincent Van Gogh has become the most celebrated, and certainly most mythologized artist in history, as the misunderstood genius who died unknown and unloved and sold only one painting in his lifetime. Tim Marlow explores Van Gogh's tragically short and disturbed life through some his most famous paintings. Works examined in this film include: Sorrow; The Potato Eaters; Open Bible, Extinguished Candle and Novel; The Pink Orchard; Vincent's House in Arles; Vincent's Bedroom; Sunflowers; Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear; and The Raising of Lazarus.
