Abstract
This chapter explores the cinematic imaginary of art, specifically the ways in which contemporary cinema uses art to stage debates around truth, authenticity, and aura. Through an analysis of a number of representative films, it demonstrates that whenever art “enters” cinema it automatically introduces into a film’s narrative (and often its style) the long-standing philosophical debate around truth and authenticity. Frequently, art and the spaces of art (galleries, museums, artist studios) in cinema are over-determined by the history of the philosophy of art and the main questions that have informed it, including the questions of “truth,” “authenticity,” “reproducibility,” and “value” (e.g., cult value versus exhibition value).
