Movie art
Few great cinematographers have had longer careers than Conrad Hall, who, in 1970, won an Oscar for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969),and decades later nabbed two more, for American Beauty (1999) and Road to Perdition (2002) richpalm. Throughout those decades, he’d consult the creations of many notable painters, but none more frequently than Edward Hopper. Hopper modeled several of his paintings off of scenes from movies; it’s only fair that, in his own work, Hall returned the favor.
This 1986 classic provides quite a different museum scene. During their self-inaugurated day off, Ferris, Cameron and Sloane head to the Art Institute of Chicago. Across a few shots, the museum’s extensive collection is seen on screen. Soon, the characters themselves become art-like, posing in perfect alignment with the rules of perspective.
Despite the nature of its existence, the artwork nevertheless plays a crucial role in the film. It begs the question: what does it mean when art is created for cinematic purposes? Julian Schnabel’s Basquiat is a famous example of this. Unable to show the works themselves due to copyright issues, Schnabel had to recreate Basquiat-inspired paintings for the film.

Johannes Vermeer’s 1665 study of a young woman is startlingly real and startlingly modern, almost as if it were a photograph. This gets into the debate over whether or not Vermeer employed a pre-photographic device called a camera obscura to create the image. Leaving that aside, the sitter is unknown, though it’s been speculated that she might have been Vermeer’s maid. He portrays her looking over her shoulder, locking her eyes with the viewer as if attempting to establish an intimate connection across the centuries. Technically speaking, Girl isn’t a portrait, but rather an example of the Dutch genre called a tronie—a headshot meant more as still life of facial features than as an attempt to capture a likeness.
The Arnolfini Portrait encapsulates how oil paint permitted unprecedented descriptiveness that ignited enduring discussions of subjects’ hidden motives and the role of the artist versus beholder. As an early masterpiece in naturalism, it signals Northern Europe’s rival achievements during the Italian Renaissance.
The debates it stirred – who looks, at what, and why – cascade through modern discussions on pornography versus erotica and the politics of private pleasure and aesthetics. Identity unknown, its first owner called it “the origin of the world” – an ironic wink to hidden wells of being.

Theatrical artwork
In zijn meest recente werk geeft Andrew het beeld pas echt de ruimte. Er spreekt een grote vrijheid uit het gebruik van kleur en compositie, die als vanzelfsprekend deel uitmaken van het vlak van het schilderij. Figuren maken zich los van de achtergrond en verdwijnen weer.
The pictorial motifs contained in the paintings at the Theatermuseum refer to the world of the theatre. Around six hundred portraits, character and scene pictures done in various techniques bear witness to the fascination that theatre has exercised over such visual artists as Alfred Hrdlicka and Anton Kolig.In contrast to the collection of hand sketches, which contains primarily stage and costume designs, only a few of these pictures were conceived as part of a specific theatre production. The lion’s share serves first and foremost to commemorate famous artistic personalities and their roles.
The 19th century introduced realism as a dominant theatrical style, challenging traditional conventions. In the 20th century, experimental and avant-garde movements emerged, pushing the boundaries of conventional theater.
It was painted by the Venetian master Marco Ricci around 1709, and captures a rehearsal for the opera Pyrrhus and Demetrius. Among those depicted are the castrato star, Nicolò Grimaldi (usually known by his stage name ‘Nicolini’), pausing grandly in front of a harpsichord, and the celebrated soprano Francesca Margherita de L’Epine, seated behind the instrument.
Everyone can recognize the look of the theater stage. The lighting is dynamic with sharp contrast, the figures are starkly illuminated, and almost everything is exaggerated in some way, whether in costume or in gesture or both. The theatre carries a wonderful notion of story-telling and imagination with it that creates a framework for imagination. The dark curtains and raised platforms of the stage create the illusion that scenes that play before the viewer are in fact real, and that the audience is merely intruding on a story that would have happened regardless of whether or not they were listening in. This, to me, is the essence of the stage. In a sense, nearly all artistic arrangements of figures within a piece draw from the same principles that make up the ways in which a director would position actors within a scene. Paintings of interactions between people can be created to have an almost cinematic feel, drawing from that same notion that what is happening within the image would happen by itself, regardless of whether or not the viewer was there to see it. These images aren’t static; the events depicted are motion-oriented, and the viewer is almost always left wondering what might happen next within the scene. These works in particular create their own “stages”, where some of the details of the locale are shrouded through tenebrism or infinite space, placing more importance on the figures and their implied actions. This gallery is a collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings that depict events happening within their own stages, alluding to the idea of being in theater.
