The two began calling each other 'Art' as a result of these films.īarnes & Barnes formed in 1970. Around 1968, they would shoot short films with a Super 8 motion picture camera, dubbed 'Art Films'. Robert Haimer and Bill Mumy were childhood friends who occasionally performed together on their musical instruments.
