Not only was this an interesting and thoughtful meditation on painting within film I thought it was beautifully edited, seamlessly echoing the narrative.

Really? I think it was aimless

Very intelligent and revelatory. I have been a painter all my life, and in my 50's when it came time to decorate my new bedroom, I found that I had grown sick of looking at my own work, and ordered canvas prints of three paintings from movies: Portrait of Carlotta from VERTIGO, Mary Meredith standing in the wind from THE UNINVITED ( 1944), and Captain Greg's (Rex Harrison) portrait from THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR. ( I almost chose the painting of Scarlett in a blue dress from GONE WITH THE WIND.) I have always been obsessed with movie paintings, so I love your channel. Please don't stop. The few deep thinking artists who come to KZread need you.

It must be a beautiful room

"style as substance" made me yell, that's the best way I've heard so far to describe my taste in art and how I feel about abstract, modern, impressionist etc art in general. You've got a talent for words my friend

This is an excellent video essay. I love the insights. You should consider a part 2 and part 3 because there are many great movies with paintings and about paintings. A few definitely worth seeing are La Belle Noiseuse [long film by Jacques Rivette about inspiration and sacrifice], Life Lessons [short film by Scorsese], Museum Hours [Jem Cohen] and even the short section on Van Gogh in Dreams by Akira Kurosawa. The list goes on….

This video was absolutely incredible. I feel it has come to me in the best possible moment, it was really inspiring!

While watching this immediately, I thought about the picture of Dorian Gray, and then my mind popped to Laura🎨

I remember seeing a picture of the Dorian Gray portrait in a book about horror movies in my grade school library. It scared me so bad I've never watched the movie, even though I'm now old enough to appreciate its overarching existential dread.

amazing essay on visual art in cinematography! 👏

Thank you for mentioning John Decker. That artist's life is worth a movie in it's self!

Rebecca, the ultimate role a painting ever played in a couples Life.

That rarest of creatures - a beautiful, articulate and intelligent examination of a fascinating subject. Thank you.

I'm only 40 seconds in and this video is incredible!! 🌟 Finished watching and all i have to add is "bravo!!" You a hundred percent captured something I feel and can't say, watching paintings in movies and frankly, in actual life... I am a frequent visitor to the galleries at the Palace of the Legion of Honor depicted here in Vertigo and there's still the whisper of Jimmy Stewart's ardor within them.

This immediately made me think of a Sci-Fi short story by Brian W Aldiss called; Report on Probability A'. Some sort of scanner looks into different 'probabilities' and life seems to go slower in each one. The final probability (Probability A), is just a painting, where all the action is implied, but of course, nothing actually happens, because it is a painting,. It's not mentioned by name, but the book cover and descriptions make it plain they are referring to 'The Hireling Shepherd', by William Holman Hunt.

Me personally, j was always so captivated and OBSESSED with the paintings in Fellini's films

Thank you for this video on behalf of artists, art lovers and cinema fans. 👌

Thank you so much!!! Please continue!

I really enjoyed this. The painting I would really love to own is the painting of a young Fanny Trellis that sits above the mantlepiece in the movie ‘Mr Skeffington’ ( my favourite Bette Davis movie ) The painting shows a Glamorous society figure (maybe in the style of or influenced by Sargent ) As Fanny ages the painting becomes a painful reminder of her lost youth and beauty.

i would die to go see an art gallery filled with only paintings that were painted to be in films. I want to see the Dirk Diggler painting.

How did I not realise the painting in Frozen with the woman on the swing, disney doesn't highlight anything but how Anna copys her in the swing but a woman with two lovers swinging between them, while Anna does a similar thing, so subtle I hope it was intentional 😊

Nice work, gentlemen. A fascinating and beautiful video essay. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Simply marvellous - thank you.

Wow just wow, amazing 👏👏👏

I loved it, I'm going to look all those movies

The coolest thing ever to pop up on my youtube feed.

Excellent work. Love the soundtrack.

Oh my God. This was an amazing video. Thank you!

I'm thinking of ending things is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Its an actual artistic rendition not just mere entertainment. I wish we could get more movies like that, movies where the content matches the form.

Excellent documentary. So well done. A lot of work went into this.

my personal favorite is boy with apple from the grand budapest hotel :)

Fascinating. Sincerely fascinating.

Great job! Liked and subbed!

To have comprised a direct correlation along with research and good editing; is this art imitating art? Dam right! Brilliant.

I am told by the artist who painted the General and his horse in Ken Russell's Savage Messiah that he completed within a week and it was still wet when it was being filmed. I think Paul Dufficey should get an honourable mention for that feat of mastery!

Great video essay. Outstanding research. Well done, thanks for sharing!

I have a painting from the 1939 movie "Another Thin Man" starting William Powell & Myra Loy..2 guys use run the props back in the day brought their wares up north from Hollywood to Sebastopol had the picture looked at the provenance in the movie its shown 3 different times I wish I could post it here...cheers mates 😀

Fascinating essay. Thanks.

One of my favorites: *_The Good Thief._*

So good, loved this! Insightfully and intelligently narrated and beautifully edited. Excellent work!

Wonderful! I greatly enjoyed this presentation. I recognized many of the paintings and scenes from some of my favorite films and learned about knew ones I had never seen. Well done! :)

Congratulations.: a profoundly engaging and insightful essay, that will assist people, especially students of film for the few generations we have left on this planet as a civilized species. Its really that good, and you get a strong sense of how much work you both have put into the essay. I hope _______ people will understand how valuable all these things we have access to are and not to take them too easily for granted, like a portrait on a wall.

Wonderfully inter-juxtapositioned

Bloody loved this! I also find entertaining the figure of Gene Kelly as An Amrican in Paris trying to make it as a painter- the works they used in that leave more to be desired......!!!

Amazing video! We definitely need a part 2! May I recommend some Takeshi Kitano (featuring his own child-like paintings in movies like Battle Royale, Kikujiro's Summer but most prominently in Hana-Bi), Peter Greenaway (where The Draughtman's Contract mirrors the murder mystery by painting from Trouble with Harry, and Nightwatching is a whole conspiracy theory about the intersection of art and reality) and maybe more Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums is full of paintings real and imagined, while The Grand Budapest Hotel has a very rare "painting McGuffin") and maybe also The Accountant (with its Dogs Playing Poker vs. Jackson Pollock theme) or The 1999 version of the Thomas Crowne Affair (with its clever Monet/Magritte games) or Amelie (where famous paintings come to life to comment on the plot but also a famous Renoir painting stands in for interpretations of real life).

Hypnotic. Quite a fine essay.

This video is a work of art about works of art that are represented in video representing works of art. One I may have referenced is a segment in rod sterling’s anthology , Night Gallery,. The main character played by Richard Kiely , finds escape in art only to be imprisoned in agony at the end .

Great video! Apparently one of the pastiches in Kubrick’s 2001 was previously used in Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much (sorry if you touched on this and I missed it)

This went straight to my favorites playlist. As someone else commented you should do part 2, part 3 and so on. One suggestion: The bird with crystal plumage by Dario Argento.

I started watching this on my phone, but it’s definitely worth getting out my iPad!

As an artist myself, as well as a movie buff, I really loved your video, and I'm your new sub 👍

this is a great video :) One of my favorite films is The Thomas Crown Affair. a film obsessed with the way in which someone's entire identity can be summed up in one painting.

This was so interesting! Thanks for explaining some of I'm thinking of ending things as I watched the film some time ago and found it facinating but couldn't really make any sense of it. Also intrigued to now watch some of the others mentioned.

Wow... thank you.

fantastic

Also, your jump cut from David Bowman's room to the Roger Moore film at 30:48 was shocking! I really felt the disconnect of this anachronistic affectation. Did Bowman's hosts recognized this art as the idyllic representation of human aspiration? This is really fascinating!

Wonderful film! Merci :)

I saw the debauched Dorian Gray at the Art Institute in Chicago. It’s impressive

Super work; well done. Was hoping there would be a reference to The Rebel. The films you have chosen would make an excellent season.
