Do I Really Look Like That? A montage of misrepresentations of art and artists on television (not film). Researched and edited by Colin Perry and Sally O'Reilly https://vimeo.com/27085972 www.amiclarke.com www.bannerrepeater.org ------------------ From: Nicholas Loess [[email protected]] The query is a bit misleading, but I think I get where you're going. Peter Greenaway's A Zed and Two Noughts incorporates the work of Vermeer not only into film's narrative component, but also its structural, incorporating impressionist ideals of symmetry and balance into the framing, background/foreground, and depth of field. I haven't seen it, but Greenaway's 2007 film "Nightwatching" is about the life of Rembrandt. Might be worth a look as well. definitely an intriguing film worthy of exploring the question of "art" in film. ------------------ From: Jeffrey Masko [[email protected]] *Borom Sarret *by Ousmane Sembène comes immediately to mind. It uses African folk art to comment on colonization, especially cultural imperialism. ------------------ From: David Langston [[email protected]] Peter Greenaway films: The Draughtsman's Contract The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover Prospero's Books The Pillow Book Greenaway has an expansive view of art (includes texts), but art is not simply decorative. The closing scene in The Cook uses food as art (the corpse of the dead paramour) as the final touch. I have not seen the Belly of an Architect in so long, I can't remember if that film also follows PG's themes, but you might give it a try. ------------------ From: Konkle, Amanda S [[email protected]] Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It uses modern art.
