Look at Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE where art abounds and also serves to commingle creative and destructive forces. (Long ago when I was just starting out, I wrote a piece on art in the film for Literature/Film Quarterly.)

The Peter Greenaway suggestions are spot on.  If memory serves correctly, he studied at the Royal Academy before moving to filmmaking.  The type of "mis-en-scene" as a cinematic rendition of "tableaux vivants" is present in all of his work, not just A Zed and Two Naughts.  His Belly of an Architect would be another example in which an artists (in this case an architect) is evoked explicitly.
