Cinematographic works with which to soak up art

Cinema is considered one of the most relevant arts of popular culture. Although it is true that it has enormous differences with other disciplines and that not all films bear the burden that the use of that term means. The debate on whether cinema belongs to the select group of art is passionate, however positions are rarely clarified or changed. Therefore, at least we are going to review all those films that after viewing we can expand our artistic culture. “The best offer” It is true that the film is not only about art. The story is based on the obsession and admiration for the beauty of the character of Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush), an art and auction expert who hides a private collection of real works. This will start a somewhat strange love story with a young woman who wants to sell her antiques. The film includes works such as Portrait of a Girl by Petrus Christus and the explanation and analysis of The Birth of Venus by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. “Loving Vicent” An animated film that brings Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings to life while telling the story of this one year after his death. A postman has to deliver the last letter of the painter to his brother Theo, so until finding him he will go through many characters who knew Vincent. It is a work of a titanic effort since in its duration of 80 minutes there are more than 50,000 frames painted one by one by professional painters who are experts in Post-Impressionism. “I shot Andy Warhol” Some artists are not so much their works as the character iconic they were. The figure of Warhol went beyond the quality of his production and meeting him is also a way to learn about his vision of art.The film directed by Mary Harron tells the true story of Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol after he did not want to produce his creative project. “Pollock: The Life of a Creator” Film that tells the life of Jackson Pollock and where we can observe the eccentric of the North American artist. The film is directed by and starring Ed Harris and reflects how tormented life can be for such an influential character in art. Pollock died more than 50 years ago, however he is considered one of the first representatives of modern painting in America.
