April 19, 2022 Gary Zaro-Professor of Humanities, PVCC
It’s not uncommon for various art forms to meld together. Simple examples are music and dance; theatre and literature. It is safe to say that film is the most culturally and socially popular art today, while the visual arts have the greatest and longest legacy. Therefore, when visual art and artists are presented in film, it creates a unique and often stunning visual and dramatic artistic combination. Whether it be biographies such as The Agony and the Ecstasy, Seraphine, Artemisia, or Frida; the influence of art on politics and history like The Last Vermeer, The Rape of Europa, or Woman in Gold; the artistic process as in Portrait of a Lady on Fire, La Belle Noiseuse or Girl With the Pearl Earring; and even the transformative power of art as seen in Nise: The Heart of Madness, the importance and legacy of art is frequently given a moving and beautiful presentation via its fellow visual art, film.
