Film Classics and Fine Art

Aly Shearer • December 7, 2021

What better time to be watching classics than when the weather is changing? I love a cozy evening paired with great company, good movies, gorgeous art and generous amounts of popcorn.

There are some films that stick with you longer than others - films that touch our hearts and we go back to over and over. Here are some pieces that give off the same energy that some of the greatest classics give.

Singing in the Rain + Makiko Harris

Singing in the Rain (1952) and  Makiko Harris,  Summer Gingham, 2021

Singing in the Rain has been one of the most beloved films since it's release in 1952. It is a film with a lot of movement and playful moments. There is a dissonance between the characters desires and the way that life is quickly changing as the world moves from silent film to film with talking and sound which is echoed in Makiko Harris'work in Summer Gingham because she has both soft organic sections next to precise and intentional lines. Summer Gingham is also the perfect pair because of the colors used in the film - being that the title is "singing in the rain" there are going to be blues and yellows and greens. New beginnings and exciting life ahead.

Roman Holiday + Angela Chrusciaki Blehm

Roman Holiday and Angela Chrusciaki Blehm, Peek-a-Boo, Caramel, 2019

One of Audrey Hepburn's most iconic roles with one of Angela Chrusciaki Blehm 's most iconic pieces feels almost too perfect to be true. The glamor and playfulness about both the film and the sculpture really create such a sweet, timeless and elegant duo.

Casablanca + Kevin Brent Morris

Casablanca and Kevin Brent Morris Untitled (Beetle on Pink), 2021

The intricate details of the background of both the film and Kevin Brent Morris' Untitled (beetle on pink) reflect each other so beautifully in that they both have a focused item on top of a focal point. They both feel dangerously beautiful and exiting.

Vertigo + Roma Osowo

Vertigo and Roma Osowo From Glory To Glory III, 2020

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense and the king of color. He used a wide palette to express moods and psychological states, never better than in the very artistic Vertigo (the plot of which centers around a painting!), in which green and red are brilliantly used in a swirl of emotionality. Roma Osowouses the same sea green and bold choices to create a similar effect (with less murder, of course) which grabs the eye and the imagination.

Timelessness always pairs nicely with timelessness. Find what speaks to you.
