Christmas with Van Gogh

I was lucky enough to visit the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam & see so many of Vincent Van Gogh’s works in person.  The museum is temporarily closed due to COVID; however, you can visit the museum online.

I wasn’t able to see the Beyond Van Gogh exhibit in Charlotte, but Christmas Day I went to see it in St. Louis!

Enjoy the video, but turn down the volume. Sorry for the background noise.

I am a huge fan of the art and the artist. If you are looking for a good movie, consider one about Van Gogh.

In 2017 Loving Vincent, about the life of Vincent Van Gogh, was nominated for an Oscar. Each of the film’s 65,000 frames is an oil painting on canvas, created using the same techniques as Van Gogh by a team of 125 artists drawn from around the globe. If you are a fan of Van Gogh, you will recognize many of his paintings throughout the film. It is a fabulous film & I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Willem Dafoe starred as Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate in 2018. He was nominated for an Oscar for his leading role. The cinematography is stunning.
