Film Portraits by Tacita Dean

Metrograph

This program presents a collection of moving portraits of artists and their work, meticulously preserved on celluloid by analog film enthusiast Tacita Dean. It offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the notoriously private Cy Twombly in "Edwin Parker," explores details from Giotto's fresco cycle depicting the life of Saint Francis in "Buon Fresco," features a conversation with artist Mario Merz shortly before his passing, and captures a chain-smoking David Hockney preparing for his 2016 exhibition in "Portraits."
