As well as investigating the expression of Van Gogh’s ‘japonisme’ the film explores how Japanese society has developed an affinity to Van Gogh’s work as a result of his engagement with their culture
David Bickerstaff, director of Van Gogh & Japan, said: “The brilliant thing about working on a film about Van Gogh is the richness of insight one can gain from his letters and just looking closely at his artworks.”
Van Gogh & Japan will be screened at Savoy Theatre, Monmouth, on June 20, at 8pm.
