Peter Greenaway at the Getty
Movies are dead! That was how Peter Greenaway opened his talk at the Getty last month. After 150 years of being important, cinema has lost its way. They began with DW Griffith and ended with Godard.
Mr. Greenaway, the director of such movies as The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and Pillow Book has moved on. Since 2006, he has been involved in art installations. Using light, he transforms famous paintings into 3-dimensional, moving experiences. Having been trained as an artist, Mr. Greenaway, brings a voice to art, that enhances, rather than Disneyfies it.
The showing of The Last Supper at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC ends this Thursday.
The Last Supper





yeah it’s really interesting… we actually did a short film on it when it visited Melbourne:
