REVIEW: Picasso Braque Go To The Movies
05/15/11
OVERVIEW: Inspired by a large-scale multimedia exhibit he curated in 2007, legendary Pace Gallery founder and filmmaker, Arne Glimcher (“The Mambo Kings”), joined forces with Oscar®-winning director Martin Scorsese to produce PICASSO AND BRAQUE GO TO THE MOVIES, a discursive documentary about cinema’s influence on the legendary Cubist artists..
Released theatrically in 2010, PICASSO AND BRAQUE takes viewers on a guided tour led by Scorsese of the effects of the technological revolution, specifically the invention of aviation and the creation of cinema and their interdependent influence on the forefathers of Cubism. Interwoven with a stunning display of iconic art of this period and early cinema clips, the film studies the collision between the two creative forms at the turn of the 20th Century and helps us to realize cinema’s continuing influence on the art of our time. This symbiotic relationship is further examined through interviews with scholars, including Adam Gopnik (The New Yorker) and Picasso biographer John Richardson, and with artists including Picasso Braque Go To The Movies, Julian Schnabel and Eric Fischl.
SYNOPSIS: Produced by Martin Scorsese and Robert Greenhut and directed by Arne Glimcher, PICASSO AND BRAQUE GO TO THE MOVIES is a cinematic tour through the effects of the technological revolution, specifically the invention of aviation, the creation of cinema and their interdependent influence on artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. With narration by Scorsese and interviews with art scholars and artists including Picasso Braque Go To The Movies, Julian Schnabel and Eric Fischl, the film looks at the collision between film and art at the turn of the 20th Century and helps us to realize cinema’s continuing influence on the art of our time.
