Such a fantastical painter! I've seen a few in books. Would be interesting to know what goes on in such a mind! |

Paul Cézanne was attracted to the peak of Sainte-Victoire near Aix all his life. He identified with it as the site of an ancient holy mountain that was the birthplace of the gods. He painted several views of Mount Sainte-Victoire after being captivated by it on a train ride while going through this region of Provence, France. I would like to see a movie about this event, from his sudden awakening and attraction and then to go on and follow him as he explores and paints around this beautiful mountain and valley. Just a quiet contemplative film about an artist connecting with nature with very little background information. The Artist, his canvas, as he attempts to convey the emotional impact of this landscape upon him. link |

I've seen one Waterhouse painting, but I'd love to know more about him. Thanks!

A soft movie about inspiration and the artistic process would be very refreshing. Not to mention he's one of the most famous artists that ever lived and deserves a movie! Thanks! |

Not to mention he's one of the most famous artists that ever lived and deserves a movie! Thanks! Yes, they don't make this kind of small intimate studies that much now-a-days, If you have not seen it yet, do yourself a big favor and watch the French movie The Butterfly (French: Le Papillon) 2002, this is a beautiful little gem of a movie that the French do at their best. Cézanne did something very few artists have ever done, he took his first attempt at art to it's maxim expression then questioned it, tore himself completely back down and came back in a new and refreshing direction. Most people when they study art for awhile, come back to Cézanne and find that they appreciate him more and more. This has happened to me also.

I am more of a fan of impressionism but that doesn't mean that classical paintings to me cannot be fully appreciated, too. I remember seeing De la Croix's LIBERTY LEADING THE PEOPLE at the Louvre and I just blurted (loudly) "That's Gavroche!" -- evoking my love for the stage musical Les Miserables! As it turned out I learned later on that it was that painting which partly inspired Victor Hugo to write his monumental novel.
In the same museum, one can appreciate the famous MONA LISA -- but I am not sure if there has ever been a serious movie about the Renaissance Man Leonardo da Vinci who also painted the famous THE LAST SUPPER (which probably inspired Dan Brown to write The Da Vinci Code, controversial as it may be). Da Vinci was also supposed to be a man of science. This rarely happens -- a man with a very strong affinity for the arts as well as for science. I do not know if his story could be made interesting as a movie, but if they have given us a story of Michelangelo, why not a film about his compatriot who may even be more accomplished?

...Bosch is a great choice, I would also include Pieter Breugel and his fantastic Netherlandish paintings...his paintings are reminiscent that basic things really do not change over time...

Regarding Breughel, there was this movie a couple of years ago:
I even saw this in the theaters, but wasn't so impressed actually.

Thanks, didn't know about a movie with Breughel, was it about both the elder and the younger?
It kind of looks painful to watch, I'm a little ashamed to admit, but I could never watch Andrei Rublev, because it was too painful, not because what happens to the artist is painful, just the movie itself.

There's probably no way it could not be a feminist-slanted movie. Thanks for getting me to look her up, interesting that she was exhibiting along with the impressionists, but we hardly know her. Too bad, I guess that's what you mean by feminist-slanted.

No, when I said feminist, I wasn't thinking of her reputation, that she was undervalued because she was a woman or a anything. She's not really obscure. Just her life. It must have been hard for a female artist in those days. |
