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.
This animated scene of shimmering lights on a lake
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. And don't miss VAN GOGH À ATELIER DES LUMIERESThank you for reading and sharing Parisbreakfast. Subscription letters 💌, maps and watercolors are in my Etsy shop. With love💋from Paris🐻
It's funny I took so many photos at La Carrière Des Lumières..thinking I had great ones..nothing can depict the experience..the sights..the sounds.So I get YOU:) LOved that experience so much!I treid his room..painting..not even close to the feeling you have given to yours..Not even .So moving to see his room in person.
I absolutely HAVE to get there. Klimt was so good but Van Gogh -- oh, what to do with Van Gogh? It would be mesmerizing. And I see your glorious inspiration in your lovely work. And the Japanese too? ARE there any cheap flights to Paris? Really cheap ones? Where you don't crash? Too many sighs!
There are dozens these days. I went round trip to Boston under $300 with Lufthansa? Go to Google flights, put in your dates and choose. The world is your oyster these days! Take advantage.
Carol, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful Van Gogh pictures and video! Just lovely. Wish I could see it in person but you have given all of us a great sample. Merci, merci!!
