... was renting this - I thought this would give an insight into the man and his art. I turned it off after 3 minutes.
All we get is shoddy camera work showing us the buildings and landscapes used then a 10second glimpse at the paintings. This was no better than buying a books of postcards and listening to classic FM.
This series of DVDs about artists with a Classical music soundtrack is rather amateurish. The colour of the paintings looks wrong, perhaps a fault of printed reproductions that seem to have been used rather than the paintings themselves. Filming of places painted or connected with the artist hasn't received a lot of thought. The editing is clumsy. The music is only vaguely matched to the artist. TV is never this bad. The sequences of an artist creating a water-colour landscape are potentially interesting.
