The Artists Profiled:
David Driskell: In Search of the Creative Truth is a story about one of today’s most important artists and leading authorities on African American art. The film captures Driskell making collages inspired by his mentor Romare Bearden, documents him in conversation with National Gallery curator Ruth Fine, and painting at his easel in his Falmouth, Maine studio. The film also explores the give and take of his creative relationship with master print maker, Curlee Holton. It all results in powerful works that pull from abstract expressionism, African art/masks, Coptic art, modernism, cubism—the history of all art in the works of this wise and gentle man.

Beverly Hallam pioneered acrylic paint, mastered monotype and collage, and created large-scale airbrush portraits of flowers that astonished the critics and are coveted by collectors. Then in her 80s she discovered computer art and called painting “old fashioned”. She is full of delight and wonder in discovering and creating something new everyday. “Like a kid in a candy store.”

David Larson said his mission was to “articulate the mystery.” His paintings make no judgments as they explore issues of belief, doubt, angst, suffering, identity, and love. He worked from a place of rigorous integrity, loving the quest, agonizing in the unknown. His paintings investigating the story of Moby Dick and the politics of the Last Supper, are central to this documentary. A deeply felt tribute to a great American artist directed by his son, Soren Larson, a television news producer and filmmaker in New York City.

Painter
Robert Hamilton (1919-2004)
taught painting at the Rhode Island School of Design for 34 years
before moving to Port Clyde. His paintings are based in jazz-like
improvisation – witty, surprising, colorful, eccentric. Imbedded
in their playful surfaces are themes of personal history and commentaries
on the history of art.
