Porter une exposition au grand écran? C'est un défi que réussit l'auteur du documentaire Phil Grabsky. Après s'être attaqué à “Leonardo Live”, il tente de nouveau l'expérience avec une exposition de la Royal Academy. Serez-vous tenté par sa présentation de Manet?
"The show features about 50 portraits and related works by Manet, the 19th-century French realist who is considered, as the documentary rightly says, “the father of modern painting.” The film devoted to it will be screened in theaters in 30 countries including the United States and Britain, on Thursday. Over the next six months Mr. Grabsky will also introduce films covering exhibitions of Munch at two museums in Oslo and Vermeer back at the National Gallery.
Mr. Grabsky’s formula is relatively simple: Find an exhibition of a great European painter. Hire a capable host (the art historian Tim Marlow). Line up smart people to say smart things in front of the paintings, not just experts, but notable artists, writers and performers. Interview them in rapid succession during the show’s opening reception. Weave in additional interviews and segments that detail the artist’s life, visit his hometown and duck behind the scenes to reveal how shows of this kind come together.
