In this discerning new approach to cinema studies, Angela Dalle Vacche discusses how the use of pictorial sources in film enables eight filmmakers to comment on the interplay between the arts, on the dialectic of word and image, on the relationship between artistic creativity and sexual difference, and on the tension between tradition and modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, Dalle Vacche explores Jean-Luc Godard's iconophobia (\u003ci\u003ePierrot Le Fou\u003c\/i\u003e) and Andrei Tarkovsky's iconophilia (\u003ci\u003eAndrei Rubleov\u003c\/i\u003e), Kenji Mizoguchi's split allegiances between East and West (\u003ci\u003eFive Women around Utamaro\u003c\/i\u003e), Michelangelo Antonioni's melodramatic sensibility (\u003ci\u003eRed Desert\u003c\/i\u003e), Eric Rohmer's project to convey interiority through images (\u003ci\u003eThe Marquise of O\u003c\/i\u003e), F. W. Murnau's debt to Romantic landscape painting (\u003ci\u003eNosferatu\u003c\/i\u003e), Vincente Minnelli's affinities with American Abstract Expressionism (\u003ci\u003eAn American in Paris\u003c\/i\u003e), and Alain Cavalier's use of still life and the close-up to explore the realms of mysticism and femininity (\u003ci\u003eTh駻鑚e\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile addressing issues of influence and intentionality, Dalle Vacche concludes that intertextuality is central to an appreciation of the dialogical nature of the filmic medium, which, in appropriating or rejecting art history, defines itself in relation to national traditions and broadly shared visual cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Dalle Vacche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292715838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292715837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.96w x 0.71d","brand":"Angela Dalle Vacche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128439795967,"sku":"9780292715837","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4fbfbde-a194-426f-966c-000db9ae2008.jpg?v=1687458703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinema-and-painting-angela-dalle-vacche-9780292715837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
