hi
everyone i'm kelly and i'm a staff
member at thomas crane public library
my pick for today is a documentary
called tim's vermeer
tim jennison is an inventor and
entrepreneur
who also harbors a passion for the
paintings of vermeer
a 17th century dutch master painter
what makes vermeer's painting special is
its photo realism
his paintings exhibit a level of
technical mastery
that is unmatched by his contemporaries
and his methods which predate the camera
have long been a source of debate
in this passion project tim embarks on a
mission
to explore and experiment with various
techniques
and in the process recreate a vermeer
masterpiece called the music lesson
a considerable task giving tim's claim
to have limited experience in painting
this documentary is an entertaining look
at how far one person
will go to immerse themselves into the
world and life of a painter from the
past
even though it's impossible to determine
vermeer's exact methods
tim's mission to acquaint himself with
this master painter
is a commendable feat highly recommended
