BRATTLEBORO — Latchis Arts announces the return of Exhibition on Screen, a series of cinematic documentaries about great artists and exhibitions of their work at major international museums and galleries.
The series returns to the Latchis Main Theatre on Saturday and Sunday, March 14 and 15, at 4 p.m. with “Turner and Constable.” The series continues on Saturday and Sunday, April 4 and 5, with a showcase of the work of Caravaggio. Admission is $12 general, $10 for students, at the door. Proceeds benefit the non-profit Latchis Arts.
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, “Turner and Constable” examines their intertwined lives and legacies alongside the Tate exhibition. Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Now, Tate Britain has brought these two greats together for an exhibition in London on view through April, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive access to bring their art and their stories to the big screen. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.
Directed by David Bickerstaff, “Turner and Constable” runs 93 minutes.
Mystery, intrigue, beauty, passion, murder – shine a new light on “Caravaggio” in this biography, which screens at the Latchis on April 4 and 5.
Five years in the making, this is considered the most extensive film ever made about this artist. With first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and testimony from leading experts from around the world, “Caravaggio” immerses audiences in the hidden narratives of the artist’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art.

Co-directed by David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky, “Caravaggio” runs 1 hour and 40 minutes.
