Jake Auerbach's "John Virtue: London", Released: Aug 2005
A unique and intimate portrait of the acclaimed painter's working life. Artist John Virtue spent twenty years in rural isolation as a landscape painter, first in the North of England and then Devon. In 2002 he responded to a request from the National Gallery in London and decided to move to the capital and paint the city itself. The project took over two years to complete; this film follows the artist at work from Greenwich to Trafalgar Square; and includes witnesses such as Lord Rothschild, Frank Auerbach and Charlie Gillet. "A deeply intriguing...marvellously photographed feature documentary" - Times Literary Supplement. Highly Recommended.
Bowman Arts Centre, 811 - 5 Avenue South, Lethbridge.
