19:30 | Exhibition on Screen: Goya: Visions of Flesh and Blood |
|
|
|
|
Exhibition film. UK 2015, 94 min. Directed by David Bickerstaff. In English with Russian subtitles. Francisco Goya is Spain’s most celebrated artist and considered the father of modern art. Not only a brilliant observer of everyday life and Spain’s troubled past, he is a gifted portrait painter and social commentator par excellence. Goya takes the genre of portraiture to new heights and his genius is reappraised in a much-anticipated landmark exhibition at The National Gallery, London. The film uses this exhibition to look in depth at Goya’s eventful life. Through extensive location footage, Goya’s revealing letters and a unique exhibition of masterpieces from great collections across the world, this film builds a fascinating portrait of the painter and the colourful world he painted. Influenced by Rembrandt and Velázquez, Goya explored a new realism where he did not flatter and was not afraid to reveal what he saw physically and psychologically. Yet this did not stop him securing major commissions from powerful individuals seeking the prestige of being painted by the best artist of the day. Royalty, aristocrats, politicians and close friends were subjected to his highly modern approach that captured rapid changes of expression, gesture and emotion. Goya’s powerful vision and technical brilliance makes him one of the most admired and revered artists in the world today and indeed among the greatest painters to have lived.

The scandalous premiere that immediately followed and the youth revolution that sparked up in May 1968 drag this uncompromising protagonist into the depths of revolution...An ambitious, clever biopic about the great French director, filmed by Michel Hazanavicius (the mind behind the sensational "The Artist"). A balding Louis Garrel plays a slightly-comic Godard; Stacy Martin, of "Nymphomaniac" fame, plays Anne Wiazemsky.
