A
man in Amsterdam finds himself irresistibly drawn to Vermeer's Woman in Blue
Reading a Letter, studying it in search of answers to his problems. But
there is more to the Woman in Blue than those who gaze upon her realise, and
she has a story of her own to tell. A masterful exploration of the intersection
between art, artist and viewer
'You will live beyond one lifetime and beyond even two in the painting he makes of you.'
In the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, there is a painting called Woman in Blue Reading a Letter. Each day a man visits to gaze at it. He is irresistibly drawn to it. Obsessed by it. He studies the painting, in search of resolutions to his past and present loves, and the Woman in Blue studies him back. For there is more to the Woman in Blue than any of the men who gaze upon her realise. She has a story of her own to tell.
With a delicate balance of truth and fiction, past and present, Bruton masterfully explores the intersection between art, artist and viewer, arriving at a profound meditation on love and creation.
