À l'écoute

Painter's Painting (1973) Emile de Antonio
A film shot roughly between 1940 and 1970 in New York and within the circles of the New York school of painters. Abstract Expressionists, Colour Field painters and Pop painters as well as the important collectors and art dealers of the time offer great interviews. More about that one here. See a short clip on YouTube here.

Art Safari (2004~) Ben Lewis, BBC
This is a great series by British art critic Ben Lewis released by BBC. Lewis follows the work and artists who are making some of the best international art today. Each series I believe has four half-hour episodes and there are two series to date. Find out all about them here. And see clips on YouTube here.
