There is no cheating in art!
As a lifelong draw-er, painter and former professional visual artist, I have absolutely no problem with the idea that Vermeer used optical tools to create his masterpieces. Invention is creation every bit as much as art (maybe more). It does not diminish Vemeer’s “genius” to think of him as more ‘tinkerer’ than virtuoso, it just redirects it a bit. I have to admit that before watching this film I had not given much thought to the tools that Vemeer may have used, other than assuming that camera obscura was employed at some point. After considering the level of detail involved, and the lighting intricacies that he so aptly caught, it seems entirely reasonable (but not proved) to believe that other assists were involved as well.

The one thing the film overlooks, and the reason I didn’t give it 10 stars, was that Vemeer no doubt possessed tremendous drawing ability and training in other traditional skills which Tim did not. Such skills would have enabled him to bridge the gap between human camera and inexplicable genius. For example, he would have inherently caught things like broken perspective early on, and he would have wielded his tools with emotion and insight which Tim did not possess. He was, at heart, a true artist, and much more than just an eccentric millionaire with an odd hobby. So the answer to which tools he used, as interesting as it is to think about, is really little more than a bit of trivia. Because it doesn’t matter if it’s optics or inspiration, mechanics or expression, in the end if it’s interesting to look at if it moves people, then it’s great art.

A film about what you can do if you are very rich, inventive AND have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder!
“Tim’s Vermeer” is probably not a documentary that the average person would ever watch. Me being a huge Penn & Teller fan, however, I was the perfect audience. My wife, however, is not such a huge fan–but she ended up enjoying the film even more than me!

This documentary was produced by Penn Gillette and he narrates it as well. His silent partner, Teller, directed the film. It’s a strange story about a guy with too much time on his hands who has an obsession–to test out the theory that Jan Vermeer (the super-famous Dutch painter) actually might have used advanced technology (specifically a camera obscura-sort of device) to help him make such a super-realistic painting. Fortunately Tim Jenison appears to be very rich due to some of his inventions and has the time and obsessive drive to test out his idea. Through the course of the film, you see him exactingly replicate the studio room used by Vermeer and actually paint a Vermeer-style painting using this technique. What makes it even more amazing is that Jenison is NOT a painter and has novice skills in that department.

While this probably sounds a bit boring, it really isn’t. I love just about all of Penn & Teller’s work–and this is no exception. As for the wife, she is an engineer and the way that science and engineering was used in the show REALLY got her excited–and it’s rare to ever see my wife get his excited about a film. She loved it. Well worth seeing.
