Cinema As An Extension Of Visual Art-the Transformation Of The Image From Painting To Screen.

Authors : Benchaib Riyadh .

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between cinema and visual art, considering cinema a dynamic extension of the visual image. It analyzes the transfer of compositional elements, light, and color from the static canvas to a moving visual space shaped by the camera, editing, and rhythm, focusing on the impact of modern schools in developing multiple perspectives. The study also examines visual intertextuality and the reproduction of the painting within the cinematic scene, in addition to the influence of digital transformations on the construction of the contemporary image. It concludes that cinema represents a moving timeline, where the image interacts with movement, time, and interpretation, thus reinforcing the ongoing creative interaction between visual art and cinema.
