Recommended TOP 4 Art-Related Biopic Movies

Thursday, January 12, 2012
If you enjoy art history/literature as much as I do, or simply a movie-buff person, why not kick back and relax with these art-related biopic films.

When watching the Girl with the Pearl Earring (starring Scarlett J.) and young Kirk Douglas's Vincent Van Gogh's Lust for Life, I was mesmerized by how these artists allow their inner creativity to emerge. Goya's Ghost was entertaining; its dark and haunting story line showed viewers how art was used as a form of communication and expression. Also, you would be able to see the early days of print art. Goya's Ghost stars famous actors, Natalie Portman, Javier Bardem and Stellan Skarsgard.

Something you'd be able to relate if you're not familiar with old actors like Kirk Douglass who plays a very good Van Gogh in Lust for Life. You will be able to watch how Van Gogh expresses himself with colours and you will understand why colours are used as a form of therapy in art. Finally, Modigliani played by Andy Garcia; not many knew that Modigliani was a competitor to Pablo Picasso during their early days.
