THE Beehive is exhibiting a cinematic journey into the life and art of one of history’s most beloved and misunderstood artists – Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers, presented as part of Exhibition on Screen, is coming to Honiton Cinema on Thursday, November 14, at 7pm.
Directed by David Bickerstaff and produced by Phil Grabsky, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers takes you deep into the artist’s years spent living in the south of France, a pivotal period that saw him revolutionise his creative style and produce some of his “most iconic” masterpieces.
Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers, presented as part of Exhibition on Screen, delves into Van Gogh’s obsession with turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters.
Drawing on the emotions that fuelled his artistic vision, the film explores how Van Gogh’s passion for storytelling permeated his work, making him a poet and lover of life through the strokes of his brush.
As the National Gallery in London celebrates 200 years since its opening with the UK’s largest-ever Van Gogh exhibition, this is your chance to re-examine the legacy of Van Gogh.
A spokesperson for Exhibition on Screen said: “With a running time of 90 minutes, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers is more than just a film—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the enduring power and passion of Van Gogh’s art.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the creative genius of Van Gogh like never before.”
