I would expect sculpture to be much more common in film than painting, though I’m not sure why; sculpture as mise en scene seems more natural.

i haven't seen it for c.25 years but some of gillies mackinnon's small faces (no relation) was filmed at the glasgow school of art and used paintings almost as intertitles, if i'm remembering correctly. i can't find any links on the net, googling small faces paintings brings up nightmares redolent of illustrations feat.paul weller that make you think
(at the time i didn't think it worked especially well but i was speed-watching as part of a project abt pat barker's regeneration -- his next film -- so might just have been not in the mood for whatever it was aiming at. and the fact of it as a device has clearly stuck with me)

Edward Peel's villain delivering this dramatic monologue in front of the rubbish ice statue of his dead wife in an episode of Dr Who
A work of artistry, my friend. Incandescent artistry. I could almost believe Xana lives again. A unique beauty, yes, but more than that, a criminal genius also. Oh, what a waste. It should have been I who was killed escaping arrest, not you. The whole of eternity has held its breath for this moment. But no one must ever see your work. It exists, that is enough. No one can ever look upon your work and live. Gaze on it and die fulfilled.(Kane places his bare hands on the sculptor's face and freezes him to death.)

is that an ice organ i spy in the background? this was an aesthetically rich episode, it has bricolage and everything: "One of the guard's lines, about the "semiotic thickness of a performed text", is a quotation from Doctor Who: The Unfolding Text, a 1983 media studies volume by John Tulloch and Manuel Alvarado. Story editor Andrew Cartmel had suggested that writers read The Unfolding Text to familiarise themselves with Doctor Who and its history, which inspired Ian Briggs to quote the academic text in his script"

If, like me, you're somewhat of a Niven fan and haven't heard of that movie, it's because it's awful.

is it a picture of the charge of the light brigade? the LB as vomited bright red acrylic wd be good art praxis if so
(i like when data's approach is overly algorithmic tho, someone is paying attention in the correct directions even if the picture comes out crappy) (this does not apply to the threadstarter which is in the "spooky resemblance of ancestor to current character" mode lol)

the secret history of st:tng is that it's actually a seven-season polemic about how synthetic life is bad not good (cf data actively threatening the lives of the crew on multiple occasions and being bafflingly reinstated to his vitally important duties after every single one) and his shit-ass paintings are one of the major clues that something is profoundly and unredeemably RONG with him

As far as Dark Shadows goes, there is a painting that features more prominently in the bits I am (I’m exactly halfway through the series now) - Cassandra’s portrait. https://images.app.goo.gl/32WQKrq5hXSjmTr19 Which is...not great. Barnabas’ is clearly better.

From 'Dr. No' (1962), a painting of the Duke of Wellington that had been stolen in 1961.https://i.pinimg.com/originals/84/d4/05/84d40597db91634668b245236d09e6ca.jpgNot a plot point as such, but it adds to Dr. No's characterisation as a high end criminal.

Also "that painting from 'Skyfall'", also known as 'The Fighting Temeraire'.https://paintingvalley.com/images/skyfall-painting-21.pngAgain not really a plot point, more of a character/relationaship development point between Bond and Q.
― Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 15:11 (four years ago) link
'Skyfall' also has another painting in it, which itself is a reference to the stolen painting gag in 'Dr. No'.http://paintingsinmovies.com/m/view/id/56
