Abstract

Artworks take power in the cinema, where paintings and sculptures become a source of inspiration for some of the most famous films on the big screen. We see this reflected in the posters that advertise the movies, in the hand programmes that announce them, or in some scenes. But not only are these distinguished artworks in art history used or borrowed, but sometimes, they have also been inspired by artistic works to make their story reliable and true.
