Elaine de Kooning Paints a Portrait
"βI almost feel my portraitsβ portraits Iβve madeβare now invading my privacy. When I have them aroundβto have all these people looking at meβitβs oppressive, and I always find portraits oppressive. But I find them, well, fascinating.β"
Overview
In filmmaker Betty Jean Thiebaudβs own portrait of the Abstract Expressionist artist, Elaine de Kooning discusses her work as she paints a new portrait of her friend and fellow artist, Aristodimis Kaldis. Over de Kooningβs musings on Rembrandt, conceptual art, and experience vs. ideas in the artistic process, Thiebaud observes her in her studio, working briskly but with care and method, and in constant dialogue with her cohorts.
