Criterion Collection

Among the featured painters are Robert Rauschenberg, Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Helen Frankenthaler, Frank Stella, Barnett Newman, Hans Hofmann, Jules Olitski, Philip Pavia, Larry Poons, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Andy Warhol, who famously said, “Everything I learned about painting, I learned from De.”

Having forged friendships with many of the leading artists of the midcentury, de Antonio interviews them in their studios, capturing the cutting edge of movements ranging from abstract expressionism to hard edge and color field to pop art.

Evening viewing recommendation? On @criterionchannl, watch PAINTER’S PAINTING (1972) 🎨🎞️ bit.ly/3OCidGj Though director Emile de Antonio was best known for his caustic political documentaries, he was also deeply immersed in the art world, a connection that led him to make the definitive look at the New York School of painters from 1940 to 1970.

This weekend, see BLUE HERON — the transcendent feature debut from Sophy Romvari — in theaters c/o @janusfilms. 💙 bit.ly/4tqZc94 @SophyRomvari's feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
