I was totally mesmerized by Girl with a Pearl Earring. The unhurried unfolding of the story transported me to a time when the U.S. of A. was not even a blip on the universal map. The interpersonal tensions were portrayed beautifully — there is art in expressing emotion without saying a single word and barely acting it out. This is an artful film about art, inspiration, the artist, and the people who influenzed him. Thank goodness we all have different tastes! And Thank You for the tips on art related films I have not seen yet.

I liked New York Stories the best. Watching him paint was dramatic and exciting. The paintings are beautiful. I wonder who did them. Good story too.

Rivers and Tides, about environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy, mesmerized me. It is a documentary, narrated by Goldsworthy. The beautiful filming, his quiet compelling work, and his stories about life and art leave the viewer informed, as well as entertained.

Also on Netflix: How To Draw A Bunny – strange but interesting and hilarious at times (esp. the bit about itemized pricing of a painting. Stolen – story of the Gardner museum theft. Who Gets To Call It Art – about H. Geldzahler William Eggleston – In the Real World – Must see for anyone interested in modern photography. ABT’s Swan Lake, because of the moving speech on art by JFK and is one of the better films made of a ballet.

I loved Modigliani also! Pollock was pretty powerful as well.
