Anna Randal for Art-Sheep

Art and movies are my two favorite things in the entire world. Nothing can compare with the joy of watching a movie for the first time or feeling that magic when you look at a work of art. So you get how excited I feel when those two are combined, either in video art or art and cinema collaborations. But my personal favorite is to watch movies inspired by the lives of famous artists, especially when they are accurate, beautifully-constructed and a meritorious portraiture of the artist.

So for tonight we’ve gathered a few of our favorite movies inspired by famous artists’ lives as recommendation to watch on a hot summer night.
