Summer of Art –The Life of the Artist
In Celebration of a Summer of Art – The Life of the Artist, this Summer Film Series will highlight the lives of 3 well-known artists: Picasso, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. From Simon Schama’s Power of Art, these films will be shown in there entirety. Special thanks to Claire Reynolds and KEET-TV for providing this programming.
SIMON SCHAMA’S POWER OF ART is a series of documentaries accompanying the book by author and historian Simon Schama. Featuring eight narratives of embattled artists, the film series examines the life and work of Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, Jacques-Louis David, Turner, Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Mark Rothko confronting disaster and triumph while making art that continues to resonate today.
June 5, 2008 - LIFE OF PICASSO
Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso's many styles and prolific work rate have marked him out as one of the most recognized artists of the twentieth century. Not limited to one medium he created sculptures, etchings and prints. His artistic career only began to boom once he moved to Paris in the early 1900s. His Blue Period, reflecting the color and his mood at the time was followed by his Rose Period, work inspired by primitive art and then Cubism, which shocked the critics, but ultimately made his name.

THE LIFE OF REMBRANDT
Despite being known as a portrait painter Rembrandt used his talent to push the boundaries of painting. This direction made him unpopular in the later years of his career as he shifted from being the talk of the town to becoming adrift in the Amsterdam art scene and criticized by his peers.
August 7, 2008 -
THE LIFE OF VAN GOGH
For Van Gogh, painting captured what photography could
never do, expressing the surging line and pure color of the mind's
eye - yet sweeping him to the edge of madness. Simon Schama explores the meaning and technique of Wheatfield With Crows and takes an in depth look at his life as a painter.
