At the Movies… Art Inspired by Global Cinema, Part 2
“Blueberry Sky” by Clara Hastrup (Denmark)
It’s awards season in Hollywood, and while everyone in Showbiz is making predictions about which movie will win the top prize, we’ve been paying particular attention to all the foreign films. What can we say – we love movies from around the world almost as much as we love art from around the world.
We’ve rounded up a list of the year’s most celebrated international films and present them here with a sampling of art by Saatchi Online artists working in the countries that produced the films.
Pop some popcorn and take a trip with us around the world in Part Two of our three-part series. (Click here to see Part One).
