Yet behind the masterpieces lies a deeper mystery: what do these paintings reveal about the man himself? This documentary explores his life and art like never before, featuring masterpiece after masterpiece, along with first-hand testimony from the artist on the eve of his mysterious death. Five years in the making, multi-award-winning film makers Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff present the most comprehensive film ever made about one of history’s greatest painters.
