MASP: Van Gogh
I saw the failure of a genius. I saw the final years of Vincent Van Gogh. I saw Frenchmen underestimating me. I saw a master die in poverty. I saw a remorseful Europe. I saw millionaires shouting my name at auctions. I saw a new home. I saw adults teaching, I saw children learn. I saw a young building become Brazil’s most visited museum. But, having seen all this, there’s one thing I haven’t seen yet: you. Come. I wish to see you.

Think it's great campaign. Although this very beautiful, yet, not so legible handwriting may make people too annoyed to read it all through. Nevertheless idea behind it is great. It somehow personalizes art which presents also people. Nice twist.

Agree!
"Bright ideas bring better results"
Beautiful words. Makes me want to go.
I saw a great campaign today
Simple ideas are the best !
I think there are too many sentences there... The copy should be expressing the "invitation" with less words. Just like the artist did.
The idea is good though. Invitation send by the artist himself makes it more personal.
A campaign that appeals to the eye, mind and heart; that's a pretty good hat trick for any advertising creative.
great copy congrats

Missing the point , totally. Saying the history of the picture threw story telling is nice.. but to tell what the picture saw?? . What I care is how good this picture is, and not what the picture saw..seeing all of those things does not make the picture better.
Its good to have a story telling, but connected to the value of the brand.
From other side every body says that is a good campaign.. so maybe they are right, its more important the picture to see you. ... sad.
You miss the piont mate. This campaing wants to make people feel ashamed that they're NOT used to visit such places like galleries (provided that they go to shopping malls). No one wants to convince that actual "content", saying it vulgarly, or "arte" is better, softener, more shining, glimmering and sexy as it were a mere commercial product. DO you really think that "selling" Rembrandt is to convince people that this is IT – You MUST go and see it NOW!??
C'mon.

So, u r saying that this campaign wants to make people ashamed that they not go to museums. Nice.. So u want ashamed and scared people in the museum standing infront of a picture of rembrandt and after that they should be happy?Oh my god now i am free to go to the shoping mall again.. What kind of manipulative comment was that..by the way i think even a campaign wich have to make people beeing ashamed would have diferent approach by something more edgy and not hardrly readable text.
When u talk about art there are many things that u can say mate, and beeing ahsamed for me is the last of them. (respect ur public)
For example a ordinary picture of rembrandt hides betweeen 4 or 5 pictures inside. Van gogh is one of the rear painters who is practicly impossible to print in book just because of the ammount of collor he used. U have the letters from vincent to theo,rembrandt quotes,renoar stroies, every pic in this campaign have history, u have 100000000 possible insights,waiting out there to be used in a campaign and u support the most stupidest one in wich they dont say anything about painting ?
Come to the museum be ashamed! The picture want to see ur stupid shoping mall face... thats what u r saying.. It is sad believe me especially for art ..ITs just an atempt for award winning ad but only nice try..
Hey gentleman. Why be so nervous? I see that You still cannot understand. Saying "Come to the museum be ashamed!" you criticize an argument which never have been given. So, Corbeen, forgive me, but I'll not proceed with that cute conversation. Stay well.

No man:), Im not nervous at all. It was just a right place for an argument. no hard feelings at all. we may proceed with reading comments of some members with cute pictures saying "nice" and "not good" all the time.

I have seen a Rembrandt exhibition in the National Gallery of London. There was a big room where they've screened a short movie about Rembrandt's life every 30 minutes. Guess what. The room was crowded. Many people care about the circumstances of a painting too... if those little details are interesting. And as we see it (praisers of these ads), these short stories are good enough to gain attention.
great copy. great idea. brilliant. congos.
yep, great copy, nice art, brilliant idea...
but something is missing here. you can't read the copy with this handwriting

Wow, I love these ! Great copy, beautiful art, really really nice. Bravo. But the copy reading does get technical on the smaller words.
The more I see of this campaign the more I fell in love with it. The most elegant, most interesting, most emotional idea to promote an exhibition I have ever seen. Simply perfect. (Okay, font is a bit unreadable, but the fact it's a handwriting supports the idea.)
Excellent !
Great work.
Really like this campaign and the copy. The only thing I would change would be to take out the very last line, so it ends here: "...there’s one thing I haven’t seen yet: you." That says it all, and the last line makes it feel a little clunky. Other than that, bravo.
hats off
only 1 issue - copy might not be readable in actual print ad.
