Series Statement:
Film Culture in Transition
Content:
Unlike most studies of the relationship between cinema and art, which privilege questions of medium or institutional specificity and intermediality, Screening the Art World explores the ways in which artists and the art world more generally have been represented in cinema. Contributors address a rarely explored subject -art in cinema, rather than the art of cinema - by considering films across genres, historical periods and national cinemas in order to reflect on cinema's fluctuating imaginary of 'art' and 'the art world'. The book examines the intersection of art history with history in cinema, cinema's simultaneous affirmation and denigration of the idea of art as 'truth' and what this means for cinema's understanding of itself, the dominant, often contradictory ways in which artists have been represented on screen, and cinematic representations of the art world's tenuous position between commercial good and cultural capital.
