Van Gogh on big screen

Van Gogh’s Wheat Field under Clouded Sky

Van Gogh, Of Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies is premiering exclusively at the Eden Cinemas today.

This documentary offers a new look at Van Gogh through the legacy of the largest private collector of his artworks. Dutch painter Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939) ended up buying nearly 300 of his works in the early 20th century,

This exhibition not only tells us about Van Gogh’s art and his genius, but allows viewers to understand the importance of drawing as part of his artistic technique. His seemingly instinctive, au premier coup canvases were the result of long, preparatory studies, not sketches but complete works of art in themselves, where the broken flow of lines that characterises the style of his paintings, can be found.

The film is showing today at 8.15pm. It will be screened for a limited time only. Tickets can be bought on edencinemas.com.mt or by visiting the Eden Cinema’s box office in St Julian’s.
