As it happens, John, there was a lively discussion about the romantic artist on TV here on Screen-L back in November. I know it's not exactly the artist-on-film, but you might find it interesting nonetheless. To access Screen-L's archive, go to http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=screen-l And search for "romantic and artist". It'll help limit the search if you specify only "Since" October 2004.
