THE FILM
Pictura -- Adventure in Art was a unique concept in feature films, consisting of six episodes based on the lives and works of Hieronymus Bosch, Vittore Carpaccio, Paul Gauguin, Francisco Goya, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Grant Wood. Not surprisingly, since his passion for art was well-known even by 1950, Vincent Price was signed to contribute -- in addition to recording voice-over narration for one of the segments, he was the only actor featured on-screen, talking about art with young listeners in the framing sequences. Price's sequences were directed by E.A. Dupont, who had several German silent films to his credit.
In 1949, Leonid Kipnis brought to America from France a short film on the life and works of Van Gogh which he supplied with English language commentary spoken by Martin Gabel. Van Gogh was acclaimed at public showings for cultural groups and art museums, and in 1949, it received the Academy Award for Best Two-Reel Short Subject. Based on the success of the short, producers Kipnis and partner Herman Starr planned a full length film -- artists were selected, scripts were developed, commentaries prepared, musical scores written and performed -- in a tri-country (France, Italy and the U.S.) collaboration. With a framework filmed in Hollywood (consisting of Vincent Price's discussions with eager young art students) to hold together the vignettes, the feature was completed. The director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Francis Henry Taylor, wrote a letter to producer Herman Starr, commenting: "I found myself completely entranced with the wonders of this picture... Your discriminating selection of famous stage and screen stars as narrators and the wonderful music scores especially composed for it have made Pictura a production which provides fascinating entertainment and real excitement for every movie goer. Your company should be congratulated for its courage and accomplishment."
In 1954, Price's segment on Bosch was released as an eleven minute short.
REVIEWS
Variety, December 20, 1951
"... explores a new field for motion pictures in combining visual displays of painting masterpieces by famous artists with explanatory narrative of the creators and suitable mood music for the subjects presented.... Opening scene, in which Vincent Price discusses art with a group of university students, sets the stage for presentation and explanation of six noted artists from year 1500 to modern days..."
L.A. Daily News, December 22, 1951
"...And to hurdle any chilling unfamiliarity with the 15th century world of Hieronymus Bosch and Vittoria Carpaccio, the reassuring 20th Century profile of Vincent Price and the equally comforting tones of Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Lilli Palmer and Martin Gabel have been liberally written into the script. Price, as a kind of garrulous Sunday painter given to park bench disquisitions before a cluster of young students, agreeably etches the transitions between the several episodes and, with his unseen but audible thespian colleagues, provides an entertaining narrative account of the temper and circumstances that conditioned the several palattes..."
