itt: paintings that are plot-points in movies and TV that are terrible paintings (or excellent ones if there are any)

Aren’t there some gaudy paintings of biff & Lorraine in trump-biff’s mansion in bttf2? Can’t find online

The wonderful opening sequence of the TV “What We Do In the Shadows” is full of amazing not terrible art:

Loved the Raul Julia thing, had no idea he played M Bison, and made the mistake of learning more. Of course he filmed this, his last role, when he was dying of stomach cancer so his children could see him in a movie they'd enjoy ;_;

Bojack Horseman has a bunch, some plot pants some just there

Bojack Horseman is incredible on so many levels

things i've been hunting for meanwhile = wall art in 50s and 60s cartoons, esp.the hubleys at UPA

Here to show critical support for Data's artworks!

Re: action painting there is one depiction of it in Pasolini's Teorema.

I can't remember what the painting in Quince Tree Sun looks like :-( Want to think it's good because I liked the film so much.

jean luc picart

again def not plot point but always liked this discovery - https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/11/stuart-little-leads-to-lost-painting

Is there action painting in one of the original Bedazzled vignettes with Eleanor Bron? Feel like there is but can't be arsed to Google.

Or like I could've confused it with If..... or somethink

There's probably a ton of terrible paintings in Velvet Buzzsaw but I am not going to seek them out.

So why do film people hate painting so much? Static visual art is only a bit boring leave it alone lol.

we dont hate it we love it u buffoon

Film people = the ppl that make films not ppl posting on the thread. Just wondering out loud why the paintings are mostly bad.

ah yes that's a key question -- there was a special sight and sound supplement on this topic ("art in movies") when i worked there, i shd dig out out and see if it's better than this thread (it won't be)

it's probably 30 yrs since i watched this (i didn't like it then):

The House on the Corner (I'll Never Forget You), 18th c. painting bears striking resemblance to Tyrone Power:

Okay which movie am I trying to remember that features a scene where someone is perhaps getting torn apart/murdered and they're screaming - whilst the camera flashes to a series of paintings on a wall where the portraits just look on in nonchalance
?

(it's possible the 'victim' was maybe just having sex instead)

More noir in the ‘Two Mrs Carrolls’.

Ste are you thinking of bad timing? various kilmt paintings act as quasi-voyeurs to everything that happens to theresa russell (which doesn't include her murder but does include an emergency operation to save her life depicted as a brutal bodily invasion)

(there are so many Napoleon Soprano w/Pie-Oh-My knock offs out there...)

Art School Confidential may be meh, but the bad art is fantastically bad

Mark, I might be thinking of Trading Places when Dan Aykroyd is arrested in the chambers. Didn't they cut to the shots of paintings on the wall of past chairmen or something looking on in disgust?

i think there might be a TP scene where snooty old portrait people look on in disdain but i don't think anyone gets dismembered (or even has sex onscreen)!

haha yeah i got that bit way off

just reporting that the painting scenes in Portait of a Lady on Fire are probably quite as realistically formulaic and unremarkable as the work of an 18th century society portraitist would be, well with the caveat that I fell asleep halfway through and will catch up on "episode 2" tonight!

I just found this site:

How'd we miss this one?
http://paintingsinmovies.com/ir/5/304.jpg

there's also an "art in the movies" blog: https://artinthemovies.wordpress.com/

(but i'd prefer ppl contribute things they themselves know or remember or have a relationship than just raid other ppl's lists!) (tho by all means use these places to remind yrself of such relationships)

Yeah, for the record those last couple were from memory! This one, too:
