1 French Astronomy Print This one is a fabulous vintage French astronomy print with white images on a black background. This print comes from a circa 1874 French astronomy book. This shows earth’s rotation around the sun. I just love the contrast of the white etching on the black background.
Cinematic artwork
The early intersections of film and painting and the subsequent evolution of cinematic techniques have profoundly influenced the way painters approach their craft. By incorporating elements of composition, lighting, color, and narrative storytelling from cinema, painters have expanded the possibilities of their medium, creating works that are both visually captivating and rich in narrative depth. This ongoing dialogue between film and painting continues to inspire and challenge artists to push the boundaries of visual art.
By borrowing these cinematic techniques, painters have expanded the possibilities of their medium, creating works that are not only visually captivating but also rich in narrative and emotional depth.

In his 2015 book The Pixels of Paul Cezanne: And Reflections on Other Artists, German filmmaker Wim Wenders writes, “All the paintings of Edward Hopper could be taken from one long movie about America, each one the beginning of a new scene.”
Despite flopping financially, the 1981 film Pennies From Heaven garnered critical acclaim from the audience. Featuring four paintings recomposed as tableaux vivants, Ross’s romantic drama allowed cinematographer Gordon Willis to create the stylized mythology of the Depression that it turned out to be (Kael, 1984). Film critic Pauline Kael noted, “…there was never a second when I wasn’t fascinated by what was happening on the screen.” (Kael, 1984)
Wes Anderson approaches his work with the same degree of aestheticism as some artists. As a result, it may not be entirely surprising that artworks find their way into his films. In The Grand Budapest Hotel, it’s Boy with the Apple by Johannes Van Hoytl. Gustave, the hotel’s invaluable concierge and his apprentice Zero spend a good deal of the movie chasing after the painting. If you had some artistic doubts, you’re not alone…
Film graphic
In recent years, the role of graphic design in film has become more established, with more and more directors recognising the importance visual artists play in bringing their visions to life. That said, graphic design in film still remains, for some reason, an underrated and unpopular career path. But why is that? Is it too competitive? Too reliant on connections? Impossible to find a way in?
Perhaps the toppest of the tips is to be honest. It’s the curse of being a designer — we make designs, especially on our lives. No matter how prepared, graphic design for film is itself designed to overwhelm you with all that needs doing, so you are definitely better having the fall back of this being your first, second, third job rather than being caught in the lie that you are not in fact the lesser known student of the infamous Jeffery Collage (“yes, that Collage.”).
Graphic design plays a crucial role in enhancing the viewer’s experience in films and television shows. It combines typography, color schemes, motion graphics, and visual branding to create captivating and immersive narratives. Visual storytelling is a foundational pillar of the entertainment industry, enchanting audiences and transforming their perceptions.
“I think one thing you definitely learn as you get older and more experienced is to be patient,” Lima says. “I don’t mean just sit around and wait for things to happen, you know, keep going, but at the same time be patient. Becoming a senior designer from a junior designer doesn’t happen overnight.”
