Joëlle Moulin, Painting & Cinema (Cinema et Peinture), 2011, Citadelles & Mazenod (Pub)
PARIS – Joëlle Moulin’s latest book is a visually and critically inspired study of the century-old dialogue between painting and cinema. Cinema et Peinture (Cinema and Painting) examines the works of directors who have found inspiration in masterpieces of the history of (predominantly) Western art.
For example, Moulin explores several films in which Vincent Van Gogh has been the subject of various directors’ passionate representations. Other filmmakers that receive special treatment include: Jean Renoir (Impressionism), Orson Welles (Carpaccio in Otherllo, 1952), Friedrich Muranu and Joseph von Sternberg (German Expressionism), Stanley Kubrick (Gainsborough in Barry Lyndon, 1975), John Ford (The Hudson River School), David Lynch (Mark Rothko) and Akira Kurosawa (Japanese Prints). Films by Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Rainer Fassbinder, Charles Chaplin, Luchino Visconti and, of course, Louis Lumière are given equal attention by Moulin in her fully-illustrated book.
Cinema et Peinture is published (in French) by Citadelles & Mazenod (Pub).
