Narrative Film Director Portraits

Julian Rentzsch and Stellavie Design Manufaktur Create Bold Art

— March 13, 2015 — Art & Design
These film director portraits are conceived by Julian Rentzsch and Stellavie Design Manufaktur. The German artists create illustrations that celebrate the art of iconic cinema and pay tribute to directors like David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese in their works.

Acting as a narrative for their cinematic works, these film director portraits are infused with images of classic scenes from titles like Taxi Driver, Psycho and even Blue Velvet. In addition to illustrated film stills, each of these hyper-realistic portraits is also accented with a quote that made each filmmaker famous.

While Alfred Hitchcock's advice to young filmmakers is to "always make the audience suffer as much as possible", Lynch's quote suggests that "this whole world is wild at heart and weird on top".
Trend Themes
1. Film Director Portraits - The trend of creating artistic portraits of iconic filmmakers using hyper-realistic illustrations and classic film stills can be integrated into art and entertainment industries like museums or galleries.
2. Narrative-based Art - The trend of using film stills and quotes to create hyper-realistic portraits can be integrated into other art forms such as graphic novels, posters, or album covers.
3. Iconic Cinema Tribute Art - The trend of celebrating classic cinema and iconic filmmakers through artwork serves as an opportunity for collectible items in the entertainment industry, such as art prints and limited edition merchandise.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industry can capitalize on this trend by incorporating hyper-realistic illustrations and classic film stills into their works or by offering commissioned portraits to clients such as filmmakers or film studios.
2. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can use this trend to create merchandise that appeals to cinephiles and collectors, like limited edition prints or special edition DVD and Blu-ray box sets.
3. Museum and Gallery - Museums and galleries can feature exhibitions and showcase pieces of this kind of artwork, specifically targeting film enthusiasts and art collectors alike, therefore attracting more visitors.
