"In the years immediately following the Second World War, art documentaries played an important part in an emerging cinephile culture favoring experimental shorts. In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais's Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Myst???ere Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them fell into oblivion and they have received only scant scholarly attention.
