FILM/Q & A: Painters Painting
Saturday, Feb. 18 • 2 p.m.
Painters Painting offers a rare glimpse into the first American art movements—Abstract Expressionism and Pop—that finally established America as the center of the art world. Emile de Antonio recognized his friends to be the center of this postwar phenomenon before the New York art establishment caught on. Films from that era reveal relaxed conversations over tea (or over the canvas) with Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Philip Pavia, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol to name a few. Commentary from contemporary art experts helps put the lives and work of these giants of American art into perspective. Join UNF professor Nicholas de Villiers and MOCA Director Marcelle Polednik for a Q & A session about the New York art scene during the ‘60s following the screening.
