With the exception of Alain Resnais's \u003ci\u003eVan Gogh\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's \u003ci\u003eLe Mystère Picasso\u003c\/i\u003e (1956) and a few others, most of them have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most lyrical, experimental and influential post-war art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, \u003ci\u003eArt in the Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Jacobs \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor at Ghent University and the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
