Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers Film

Sunday, January 26, 2025 @ 2:00pm



Middletown Arts Center
36 Church Street, Middletown, NJ 07748

Gain privileged access to the National Gallery’s blockbuster exhibition, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers, in this incomparable, new documentary film by EXHIBITION ON SCREEN. 

Through January 19, 2025, the National Gallery, London, is hosting the UK’s largest Van Gogh exhibition and once-in-a-century show, 200 years after the museum’s opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works. The exhibition explores the two years and three months that Van Gogh spent in Arles and at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, located in the south of France. During this time, he painted with remarkable productivity, driven by an intense creative fervor that sometimes bordered on agony. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand the iconic artist, who is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time but perhaps the most misunderstood.


“Wouldn’t it be nice to experience such a stellar show from the comfort of a plush upholstered chair, perhaps with a salty snack and a glass of something cool and clinking? Ready the popcorn for the film version of Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers by Exhibition on Screen. Every brushstroke and ridge of impasto is reproduced with extraordinary fidelity. There are no crowds, no queues, no takers of selfies. This is an excellent, insightful, immaculately filmed documentary”.

– Laura FreemanTimes Weekend Review


Explore the passion that drove one of the world’s favorite artists to change art forever. The combination of exhibition and film rewrites the narrative and celebrates Van Gogh’s genius without exploiting his suffering. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Exhibition on Screen, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the South of France, where he revolutionized his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealized spaces and symbolic characters.

Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the South of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.
