New - Gustave Courbet, The Origin of His World DVD

ENLARGE

The leading painter in the realist style, Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) was so caught up in experiencing life that he lost himself in it. Handsome, wealthy, and acclaimed in his youth, he ended up old, poor, and notorious in later life. As a worn-out recluse, he churned out painting after painting for money. In this DVD, French filmmaker Romain Goupil examines the life of this legendary artist and uncovers what drove him to pursue the controversial style known as Realism. Painting with passion and purpose, Courbet walked a decidedly different path than other artists who chose the academy style that was the standard for the day. Also included on this DVD are two short films exploring the style and meanings behind two of Courbet’s best-known paintings: The Origin of the World and Dead Man’s Place. Languages available: French, German, and English.

108 minutes.
