In the UK there were no artists capable of drawing like Van Gogh

At first, professional plumbers ended in England, and they had to be hired in Poland, now the matter has come to artists. A serious accusation was made against British art schools from the lips of two Oscar-winning filmmakers from the UK, who hired 60 Polish artists for their new animation project. According to Hugh Welchman and David Parfitt, there were no artists with the necessary skills in their home country.

A new project by the production duo, Loving Vincent, tells the story of Vincent Van Gogh through moving images from his masterpieces. To implement the project, it is necessary to recreate about 1000 versions of the artist’s works, and finding a sufficient number of homegrown talents for Welchman and Parfitt turned out to be an impossible task.

Welchman, who received an Oscar in 2008 for the animated project "Peter and the Wolf", said that modern British art schools, unlike Polish ones, pay all attention to conceptual art, and do not teach their students classical painting.

According to Welchman, only a few British artists were able to show close to the required skills, while 320 Polish painters were selected with "exceptional results." As a result, 60 artists were selected from all the applicants for the project, only six of whom earned their living with their art. “It’s a pity that we do not have such talents in the UK,” Welchman said, stressing that British schools “need a more rigorous traditional education.”

Parfitt, who won an Oscar in 1998 for the film “Shakespeare in Love,” said that Polish artists have also greatly reduced the cost of the film, as their work is much cheaper than similar work by the British. Parfitt himself commented on the project as follows: “This is amazing. In the paintings of Van Gogh, life pulsates. You can see how the colors in the artist’s paintings move…. without seeing the brush, you feel how these voluminous greasy strokes of oil were applied. ”
