Art inspires cinema just as cinema absorbs art: between them flows a permanent dialogue of forms, gestures, gazes and sensibilities. Whether it films a painter, a museum, a work of art or the fragile impulse of creation, cinema does not merely represent art — it extends its approach, questioning its obsessions, its flashes of brilliance and its doubts. On screen as in the studio, to create is to seek a sensible truth, to transform the real in order to better reveal what it holds that is invisible. This is the idea that drives this Collection dedicated to artists who work through cinema, as well as to cinema that takes an interest in artists and their practices.
