nationalgalleryie's video: Inspiration and Rivalry: After Vermeer

The inspiration and rivalry that occurred between Vermeer and his contemporaries was a core theme addressed within our 2017 exhibition Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting. After Vermeer was a special project inspired by the exhibition. This project invited three contemporary practitioners - Maser, Brian Fay, and Dragana Jurisic - working in three very different art forms, often in three different locations, to respond to the exhibition. Through facilitating sustained access to the exhibition and creating opportunity for interaction and dialogue around process and concept, Inspiration and Rivalry: After Vermeer sought to find out if, and how, this dynamic informs or affects the practice of the individual or the collective. The project ran for the duration of the exhibition to encourage in-depth engagement. This short film was produced as part of the project.
