Other biopics about painters?
Can anyone recommend any?
sharePollock, Frida, Surviving Picasso, Artemisia, Camille Claudel (sculptor), Goya en Burdeos.....Just to name a few.
Pollock is the most accurate of the bunch.

Love Is the Devil, about painter Francis Bacon. Beautiful and disturbing film about his life.

'I Shot Andy Warhol' is mainly about the lesbian writer Valerie Solanas (Lili Taylor), but Andy Warhol (Jared Harris) and the factory scene are featured heavily.
I rate this as the best film about art I've seen.
One of my favourit movie is 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' that tells Johannes Vermeer`s story.
Swedish 'Picasso' is a kitch, grotesque view on titan of painting Picasso.
Or as an alternativ 'Surviving Picasso' with Anthony Hopkins as the great artist :o)
"I Shot Andy Warhol" is a wonderful recommendation even though it's about Valerie Solanas. "Mr. Turner" also a great, great movie. My favorite of all artist biopics is Robert Altman's "Vincent and Theo."
