DVD Reviews of Biography: Vincent Van Gogh - A Stroke of Genius
DVD Review: Excellent coverage of one of the world's great artists
Summary: 5 Stars
Vincent Van Gogh's work is some of the most sought after of any artist. Such a tragic life, for someone who gave so much, to experience so much pain. The pain and the beauty were intimately linked. As is the case with many who reach a level of artistic genius, the "opposites" the yin and yang are vital components of their work. The force behind the creative genius, what shaped his work, presented chronologically, is what this DVD does exceptionally well. It covers the loving Vincent, the highly emotional, passionate man plagued by disappointments, frustration, and health problems. The same emotional fury that gives us his beautiful art, led to a difficult life. The DVD does a great job of showing the man behind the work. I was particularly impressed with the photography of his paintings, I have never seen them presented more beautifully."A Stoke of Genius" interviews a number of Van Gogh scholars who give unique insight into Vincent's work and life. Deep down Vincent was a simple man, at his core he was spiritual, passionate, and loving. His art was an expression of this. But somehow looking at his life we see that although he could see the beauty, he was somehow not fully able to experience it. In his efforts though, he left us with breathtaking art. Art which is his window to the beautiful world we live in.
