Autor Doris Bergeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 iul 2014
This book bridges a gap between art history, film studies and popular culture by investigating how the film genre of biopics adapts written biographies. It identifies the functionality of the biopic genre and explores its implication for a popular art history that is projected on the big screen for a mass audience.

Recenzii
There is a wide divide between the lives of artists and movies about those artist that can seem impossible to span. Ms. Berger lifts up all the rocks and shows us what's underneath - it's not always predictable or pretty but it's certainly revealing.
With Projected Art History, Doris Berger brings critical attention to a film genre that powerfully shapes cultural attitudes about artistic production but has been largely unacknowledged in the disciplines of art history and film studies. Artist biopics reinforce myths about artistic creativity, elevating the typically male painter's struggle and genius. Berger skillfully analyses two paradigmatic examples, Pollock (2000, dir. Ed Harris) and Basquiat (1996, dir. Julian Schnabel), enriching her account with research-based insights about their production and reception. Projected Art History makes a strong contribution to the still-limited literature on an important form of popular art history, adding nuance to our understanding of celebrity as constructed in both film and art.
At a time when the "high" and "low' of culture seems reoriented to "digital" and "analogue", Berger's Projected Art History: Biopics, Celebrity Culture, and the Popularizing of American Art points directly to the center of why, and how, the history of art matters to our culture. With a popular lens onto big-budget films, like Pollock, she grounds the intersection of real art and artists with film; the medium through which many are brought into the discipline. Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, Berger thoughtfully reminds the academy (art and film historians alike) to pay attention to its viewing public.
