Dutch Light

'HOLLANDS LICHT is a documentary film about myth and reality of Dutch light. A film about light that has become famous thanks to painting. This can be found in the painted landscapes of painters such as Van Goyen and Van Ruisdael, in interiors and still lifes by Vermeer, Saenredam and Heda, and later in the work of artists such as Weissenbruch, Roelofs, Gabriël and Mondriaan. The myth is deeply rooted and wants light and perception to be the basis of a visual culture that is said to have emerged in the 17th century. But according to the German artist Joseph Beuys, that culture of looking would have come to an end in the middle of the 20th century. But is it????.
