Art inside

A German photographer dedicated a blog to paintings created specifically for cinema.

Berlin-based photographer Martin Kole collects stills from films that feature paintings or sculptures specially painted or modified for filming. His blog Art in Film was noticed by The Verge .

Kole has long been thinking about devoting some thematic blog to his passion for cinema. Initially, he wanted to collect photoshopped images from films: for example, frames in which the hero holds a photo of a younger version of himself, often taken specifically for the appearance on the screen.

However, the photographer soon switched to paintings and sculptures, many of which were prepared as props, entered the frame for a few seconds and settled forever in some private collection.

According to Kole, a huge amount of effort goes into creating art for film, but until now this work has often gone unnoticed. He discovered dozens of paintings and sculptures from cult films and TV series and does not intend to stop there.
