Session 8: Film and Painting | Photography, some theorists say, liberated painting from the mandates of representation, and many early photographs take their cues from genres of painting. How does cinema fit into and also challenge this narrative? What is the relationship between the moving, photographic image (typically taken of the “real” world) and the still encounter with painting (that typically produces its own world)? This session thinks in broad strokes about the relationship between these two media. Faculty members: Jennifer Fay and Andrea Mirabile
