JANUARY 7TH AT ARTISTS ON THE 9INE
|
|
|
|
“At Eternity’s Gate” features Willhem Dafoe as Vincent van Gogh. van Gogh embodies our concept of tormented artist, and Dafoe’s portrayal was riveting, along with Oscar Isaac as Paul Gauguin. Gauguin, played as just a bit shady, made sure to swap paintings with van Gogh prior to his death, and if the film is to be believed, was the reason van Gogh filleted his ear. When van Gogh quotes scripture saying ‘life is for sowing, the harvest is not here’ it was as if he had penned his own obituary. He said his work was something for the those not yet born. And the future has delivered its verdict, this year van Gogh’s, Verger avec cypres (1888) sold for $117M at auction, the fourth highest sale of the year. He put his soul into his art, he was deserving of so much more. Not addressed was the marketing genius of van Gogh’s sister-in-law Johanna who made Vincent a household name after his death. That’s a movie I can’t wait to see.
On January 7th, Pigment International will host a Salon Talk at Artists on the 9ine (735 E. 79th Street) on mental health that will include two amazing emerging Chicago artists Eddie Santana “Edo” White and Blake Lenoir. It is not exaggeration to say that art ‘saved, and continues to shape both of their lives’ and Pigment International is proud that they are among our founding artists. They will be in conversation with Dr. Obari Carman at 3:00 p.m. Join us at 1:00 for Fitness Tips from Fitness Boutique by Tiffany. Snag a few after Christmas art and art inspired gifts too.
We'll also showcase photography by Saint The Good Boy and TyKeith Nelson.
