      abstract = {In 1890, 42-year-old painter Anna Bloch visits the Annual  Salon des XX in Brussels, and buys a painting by an unknown  artist named Vincent Van Gogh.  He dies later that same  year.  She remains the only person to have ever purchased  one of his paintings during his lifetime.  Six months  later, Anna buys a second painting by Van Gogh and becomes  the first person to acknowledge his skill and importance as  an artist.  A painter herself, Anna hangs both Van Goghs in  her studio, to use as inspiration.  Instead, she spends  many years painting in their shadow, unable to live up to  the genius she admires.  Finally, fully defeated by the  strength and audacity of both paintings, she sells them, to  free herself of the burden of living up to their standard.   The story of Anna, an unrealized artist, and her  relationship to one of the most famous artists of all time,  is told in this charming film that juxtaposes her life in  grey, industrial Belgium, with that of Van Gogh's in sunny,  Southern France.  Anna was the first person to ever  purchase a Van Gogh, but just like so many who came after  her, Van Gogh's work resonated so deeply within her, that  her life was forever changed.},
