Overview
Co-presented by O Cinema and Oolite Arts,Art Films presents a FREE virtual live screening of PAT STEIR: ARTIST on Wednesday, August 19th @ 7:00pm, followed by a post-film discussion with director Veronica Gonzalez Peña & Oolite Arts President/CEO Dennis Scholl.The groundbreaking artist Pat Steir, a leading light in the development of Conceptual Abstraction and a trailblazing feminist, has been on the forefront of American painting for half a century, and her professional and personal life have intersected with many of the most influential artists and poets of her generation—from Sol Lewitt to Agnes Martin to John Cage to Anne Waldman. This intimate, revelatory portrait by Steir’s friend, the novelist and filmmaker Veronica Gonzalez Peña, was shot over the course of three years primarily in Steir’s home and studio. Enlivened by a visually poetic style and the clear affection between filmmaker and subject, the film offers a profound look into the life of an artist.
