Emile de Antonio's Painters Painting is a vibrant collective portrait of the legendary figures who powered the tumultuous post-war New York art scene. Immediate and irreverent, the film has the feeling of an intimate conversation. De Antonio shows artists (and their critics and patrons) gossiping, drinking, and talking about life and art, and in the process illuminates the genesis of Abstract Expressionism….An invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary art, Painters Painting brilliantly captures a turning point in American art and culture. (From the box).
The CD features the film, transcripts of artist interviews, examples of the artists' work, de Antonio's complete filmography, and footage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition "New York Painting and Sculpture 1940-1970".
