Vote up great artists who have not been featured on the silver screen.
Biopics about artists have been around since the early days of cinema. Some of the best movies about artists feature craftsman from all time periods and styles like, Frida Kahlo (Frida), Vincent van Gogh (Eternity’s Gate), Jackson Pollack (Pollack), and Margaret Keene (Big Eyes.) There have already been several critically acclaimed artist biographies made over the years. What other artists deserve their story told on the big screen?
It’s not always easy for the medium of film to translate the plight and life of an artist.The best biography movies about artists allow the spectator to see the method behind the madness. A film like Pollack was able to delve into the abstract expressionist’s creative process. While a film like Big Eyes was able to tell Margaret Keene’s saga of her husband initially taking all the credit for her work.
But there are other artist stories to tell. From the painters who have created tremendous controversy to sculptors who have influenced and inspired other artists for centuries. Which artists do you think should have their story told as a biopic?
