Some people create art, others buy it. Some do both, of course, but the difference between a consumer and a producer of this commodity can be seen by comparing the documentary “
My Rembrandt” and the HBO documentary series “
Painting with John.”
For years, the Duke of Buccleuch, one of the subjects in Oeke Hoogendijk’s “My Rembrandt,” has gazed lovingly at Rembrandt’s painting “Old Woman Reading” (1655), which hangs in the cavernous dining room of his Scottish castle. The director general of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum has his eye on the masterpiece. Though he recognizes that the wealthy aristocrat has no reason to sell, perhaps he could talk him into borrowing it?
