Biopics on artists influence the popular perception of artists'
lives and work. "Projected Art History" highlights the narrative
structure and images created in the film genre of biopics, in which
an artist's life is being dramatized and embodied by an actor.
Concentrating on the two case studies, "Basquiat" (1996) and
"Pollock" (2000), the book also discusses larger issues at play,
such as how postwar American art history is being mediated for mass
consumption. 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.
