Stan Brakhage: Hand Painted Films VHS(NTSC) - 40 minutes Price $40.00 -- Add To Cart |
|
Originally interested in abstract expressionist painting, Stan Brakhage has steadily completed over 300 films in a fifty year period. His ongoing project of recreating “closed-eye vision” in the camera has led him to these entirely hand-painted films.
“Stan Brakhage stands out as one of the strongest and most influential makers of the subjectively personal film. So well-knit and ultimately so rich are Brakhage’s films that there is no need for sounds. The density of images is such that sound would pollute sight. Brakhage’s poetry is really the pure experience of vision.” --Stephen Dwoskin “Brakhage has produced a body of silent work of fragile beauty that directly addresses our need for an intense, tender and prayerful cinema, a poetic exploration near the pinpoint of mind where light, spirit and body come upon one another. The power of these works come from an astute presence of mind. Plasticity of cinema is the main character. Surface, color, rhythm and image become in themselves the purity of our experience. We are not witnessing mere avant-gardism, but whole-hearted expressions of being.” --Nathaniel Dorsky Stan Brakhage's artist profile |
