EXHIBITION ON SCREEN, the pioneering series of gallery and artists films for the cinema, returns for a sixth season, featuring three brand new feature films and encore screenings of audience favourite Rembrandt, back by popular demand.

The new films in Season Six will reveal the story behind Degas‘ obsessive pursuit for perfection; how Picasso’s lesser-known early years shaped his rise to international fame; and the profound influence of Japan on the work of Van Gogh. Meanwhile, Rembrandt will return to screens marking the 350th anniversary of the artist’s death.

YOUNG PICASSO
Directed by Phil Grabsky
Release date: from 5 February 2019

Pablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – and right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists. Many films have dealt with these later years – the art, the affairs and the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place? Too long ignored, it is time to look at the early years of Picasso; the upbringing and the learning that led to his extraordinary achievements. (read more)

VAN GOGH & JAPAN
Directed by David Bickerstaff
Release date: from 4 June 2019

“I envy the Japanese” Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. In the exhibition on which this film is based – VAN GOGH & JAPAN at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam – one can see why. Though Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan it is the country that had the most profound influence on him and his art. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas and, above all, Van Gogh.
