Van Gogh à Atelier des Lumieres

Last week I was lucky to see the new Van Gogh digital presentation at ATELIER DES LUMIERES.

Its impossible to get an idea of how immersive this experience is with still photos. Watch the video

The fusion of art and music is magical. Of course I had to try my hand at Van Gogh's lively colors and shapes. The 35 minute program starts off with his drawings and letters. Everything is animated.

Still photos are added of Van Gogh's time painting in Montmartre with the paintings to follow.

Aided by 140 projectors you relive the various phases his work went through from early drawings to potato eaters to full-blown brilliant color.

Reflects the painting in the d'Orsay museum.

Reflected even further walking over Pont Sully that night.

His iconic cherry blossoms come near the end. Followed by an exquisite animated short on the Japanese 'Floating World' of woodcuts, deeply influential to Van Gogh's later work. We're having glorious weather in Paris. Pink buds are coming out after the dull grey of winter. Hurry and come back to Paris PBers.
