Specialist note
‘I began seeing paintings in a row in a museum as being like frames in a movie. So I got fantasizing…what was the frame before this van Gogh painting and what was the frame after? If you had a wide-angle shot of the painting what would it look like? I started thinking about painting in cinegraphic terms.’
