Immediate and irreverent, the film has the feeling of an intimate conversation. De Antonio shows artists (and their critics and patrons) gossiping, drinking and talking about life and art, and in the process illuminates the genesis of Abstract Expressionism. Footage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art s landmark exhibition New York Painting and Sculpture 1940-1970 supplements the film. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary art, PAINTERS PAINTING brilliantly captures a turning point in American art and culture. ## Images ![Painters Painting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AgG03YqbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A time capsule of the golden-age of the New York Art Scene *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2011* Emile de Antonio's documentary of the New York art scene from 1940-1970 is a masterpiece in itself, equal to the works of art put on canvas by the artists interviewed. It is a time capsule, captured on film, of a bygone era. The effects of Jackson Pollock's work and the aftermath of the 1960's factory scene and it's effects on the world and culture of American art are discussed. Legends of the cubist/neo-dada/pop art movements like Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Kenneth Noland, Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, and Frank Stella are interviewed among many others and their art analyzed with great attention to preserving their individual flavors and not allowing the editing process to dilute their unique contributions and bleed them together. You really get a sense of what makes each individual artist tick and what inspires them to create what would later become near-priceless works of art in just under a half-century.To be honest, I didn't even know the film existed until a year or so ago and was delighted to find it on DVD here at Amazon. I ordered it and watched and was blown away. It is much different hearing the artists talk about their own work on film as opposed to reading about them. You get a more intimate portrait of the artists themselves and it is a DVD I will treasure forever. As a bonus treat, there is a very interesting PBS interview included on the DVD of Emile de Antonio filmed shortly before his death in 1989 included on the bonus section of the DVD where he discusses what went into the creation of the documentary and about his relationships with the various artists interviewed. Nearly worth the cost of the DVD by itself.Overall this is a must-buy DVD, not just for the artist or aspiring painter, but for anyone interested in the beauty of paint and canvas in general and of the New York art scene in particular. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Art History Film *by F***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 24, 2021* This is something that ANYONE with any interest in Art History or even America and art should watch. It is famous and very interesting to connect the artworks to the artists. The only thing is those who are not interested in the subject might think it is dry (expected for a history documentary). I will admit I had an interest in the subject but I had to split the two hour movie into two days since it was hard to do in one sitting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Documentary *by P***J on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2020* Good film. Started out disliking it, but at the end changed my mind. Art is a strange bailiwick and has issues. Images show images, words talk about images, and artists talk. They have to justify the means and the concepts of creating an image, not an easy task. good to see all the artists at work and talk about their work, even though a little pretentious at times, but without which it would not be art. The cameraman was Ed Emschwiller, who became Dean of the film School at Cal Arts. An artist in his own right, Who made many experimental art films. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/8445630-painters-painting](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/8445630-painters-painting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
