It was on Netflix. Don't know if it's still there.

Won't go into the whole synopsis, but there's a wonder scene where the gallery owner spouts some wonderful artspeak describing a painting to a potential buyer. The painting is a blank canvas.

I tracked down a copy of the movie solely for that scene.
