Cinema has always paid tribute to painting, through discreet nods or explicit references to works of arts in films, or by putting paintings or painters at the centre of their stories. In return, iconic images from films infuse our collective imaginary, and painters are also influenced by these images. They draw inspiration from scenes and figures from the world of film. Certain actors and actresses have become recurring patterns in paintings, such as Marilyn Monroe after Andy Warhol used her image for his Dyptich Marilyn in 1962. Memorable posters of stills from movies have also been revisited and reappropriated by all kinds of painters. Whether you are a seasoned film enthusiast or have one cult movie you couldn't live with, come discover our selection of paintings inspired by the world of cinema on Artsper to find a new way to explore your passion.
