Painters Painting (116 min.)
Emile de Antonio, director
Co-presented with the Rothko Chapel and Aurora Picture Show
A collective film portrait of the legendary figures who redefined the post-war New York art world. The conversations weave a brilliant portrait—with Barnett Newman at its center—in which can be seen the genesis of Abstract Expressionism. An entertaining way to absorb the context in which Newman’s paintings were made.
