Picture by Simon Hulme 12th October 2022They are promising a “multi-sensory experience completely immerses visitors in the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh as they travel through periods of his life that defined him as an artist”.
The exhibition includes his most famous paintings and lesser-known paintings that were inspired by his love of Japanese woodprints displayed in a “kaleidoscope of colour”. There are also projections of letters, including to his brother Theo.He only sold a few paintings in his lifetime, and bartered others, but left a huge collection of artworks consisting of over 850 paintings and almost 1,300 works on paper.
The exhibition created by Melbourne-based Grande Experiences, has already been shown in 80 cities including Edinburgh, Manchester and London.Earlier this year it was announced that Bradford would host a year-long arts and culture programme as UK City of Culture in 2025.
