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'; the dominant 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.
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; 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.
