Starlight Symphony: The World of Vincent Van Gogh - Easel to Screen: Film Series

Van Gogh portrait

Wanneroo Regional Gallery presents a unique series of curated art film screenings.

This documentary investigates the complete story of Van Gogh’s life and work: from his childhood in Brabant, through his laborious years of apprenticeship in Nuenen and artistic coming-of-age in Paris to the exhilarating peak of his career in the south of France. The documentary contains all of the artist’s masterpieces as well as numerous lesser-known paintings and sketches.

In the fascinating Great Artist series, we investigate some of the best artists in history - examining their influence, style and what exactly made them so unique. In this double package we examine two of the most revered Post-Impressionists; Gauguin, the bold experimenter, influenced by the art of Asia and Africa, and Van Gogh, the uniquely bold and colourful genius who has come to epitomise great art in the minds of many.

  • Vincent Van Gogh: A Life Devoted to Art (2009)-12pm
  • Gauguin and Van Gogh (1998)- 2pm

Note: These sessions are rated: M - for mature audience
