Many of the panels include snippets from the thousands of letters the brothers exchanged, including Van Gogh’s desperate desire to express his feelings through art.įanny Curtat, a Montreal-based art historian for “Beyond Van Gogh,” said that in Van Gogh’s final years, he was finally beginning to generate a buzz in the art world, but his death, followed by his brother’s death six months later, kept his work in obscurity for many years. It begins with a walk-through section of written panels that tell the story of Europe’s late 19th-century art world, Van Gogh’s life and his close relationships with is brother Theo, a Paris art dealer who supported Vincent throughout his adult life. The exhibit is spread through three rooms. It also has a recorded symphonic score that includes an instrumental version of Don McLean’s 1971 ode to the painter, “Vincent.” Many paintings are digitally animated to show the swirling cosmos, wind-blown tree blossoms, waving wheat fields and scudding clouds that Van Gogh rushed to capture on canvas with his choppy brush strokes and thick dabs of contrasting oil paints.Ĭreated in 2020 by Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s Normal Studio, the exhibit features 500,000 square feet of visual projections and 60,000 frames of video. Van Gogh’s paintings - more than 300 are featured in the walk-through exhibit - are unbound from their small frames, blown up enormously to wall size in the large Wyland exhibition hall. But what is special about “Beyond Van Gogh,” which opened Fridayand has recently been extended through May 8, is how its use of projection mapping, digital animation, music and visual storytelling allows the visitor to experience the world through the artist’s eyes. So it’s no surprise that Van Gogh’s mass-appeal, instantly recognizable paintings are the subject of a new immersive touring exhibition now on exhibit the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Although Van Gogh sold only one painting before his death at age 37 in 1890, today he is the world’s most popular artist, and several of his paintings have sold for more than $100 million apiece. According to the press release, more than 4 million tickets have already been sold, globally, for “Beyond Van Gogh.During his short and troubled life, Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh struggled for years to translate the colors, beauty and motion he saw in his head on to canvas.Īs the world knows now, Van Gogh found that creative breakthrough in the final two years of his life, when he moved to Southern France and exploded with colorful creativity, sometimes turning out a new painting every day.
Immersive art exhibitions - devoted to Van Gogh and other artists, including Picasso and Monet - have become popular throughout the world over the last 15 years, and there are currently several different companies presenting these kinds of shows, devoted to Van Gogh’s art, in the United States. The exhibition promises projections of more than 300 of Van Gogh’s artworks including “The Starry Night,” “Sunflowers” “Café Terrace at Night” and various self-portraits.Ī press release promises “art liberated from its two-dimensional limitations into a three-dimensional experience that exhilarates every sense and brings to life one of the most influential artists the world has known.” 30 Update:The opening has been delayed to March 3, and the exhibit will remain open through April 30.)
