BLUE RIBBON WINNER, American Film Festival
CINE GOLDEN EAGLE
NARRATED BY DUSTIN HOFFMAN. Willem de Kooning is regarded as the most illustrious abstract expressionist painter of the New York School. This award-winning film offers probing interviews with de Kooning himself as he recalls his early struggles, remembers his camaraderie with key figures in the Greenwich Village avant-garde of the 1940’s, and offers glimpses into his inspirations and motivations. Rare historical film footage enlivens de Kooning’s words, showing him slashing paint onto canvas and masterfully creating large-scale drawings. This landmark document delivers a dynamic portrait of one of America’s most acclaimed artists. This film is part of the STROKES OF GENIUS collection, a six-part series which examines the personal lives and artistic contributions of the principal leaders of the Abstract Expressionist movement.
