Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This series provides us with a double treat - a close-up look at both the lives and works of the world's most famous artists. In some of the programs, art history is made on film, as the artist creates a painting or sculpture right before our eyes. We also see the finest examples of the artist's works, often against a backdrop of their favorite settings: Venice, the Southwest American desert, and the salons of Paris. These presentations show us human being as well: their personal relationships and their struggles to overcome the skepticism of critics and society. Filmed by award-winning producers such as the BBC and RM Associates, they offer a unique way to "collect" the whole story of art in a permanent video library.

Louise Nevelson in Process: Louise Nevelson was in her seventies before art critics recognized her contribution to sculpture in America. Since for years she had little money for materials, Nevelson improvised with "trash" found in the streets of New York to construct her special environmental art. Looking like a high priestess from another world, Louse Nevelson creates two new sculptures on camera, providing a rare opportunity for viewers to share in the unfolding of her unique sculptural process.
