The remarkable career of gallerist and patron Virginia Dwan. This film was made possible by the HRH Foundation.

Narrated by John Lithgow, this film was made in conjunction with the exhibition Stuart Davis: In Full Swing. Stuart Davis (1892 -1964) was an American original. Trained as a realist painter, he became a pioneering abstract artist after seeing works by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, and other European modernists at the Armory Show in New York in 1913. Davis's exuberant, colorful compositions echo the dynamism of the American scene and the rhythms of jazz, the artist's lifelong passion. This documentary surveys his career and includes original footage shot on location in New York and Gloucester, Massachusetts; interviews with scholars and a musician; images of Davis's paintings; and archival footage and photographs of the artist. Produced by the department of exhibition programs. This film was made possible by the HRH Foundation.

Breaking free from perspective, layers of images show frames within frames. Each picture steps from one space to another, flows from landscape to images, advances to moving images, pushes further into paintings, and finally lands on the pure spatiality. The exhibition is not only about the practice of viewing layered images progressively, but also an exercise to re-evaluate how time moves in a video. We have always considered moving images as a time experience that runs forward. The scope can be linear and straightforward, or curved and complex. Moving images all runs forward, from one end to the other, like a movie, a pop song or a living style. The video work does not suggest the order of linear time, and it offers no discernible dialogue or plot. Instead, the work whispers poetry-like narrations to bring viewers to a wander in time, reminding them of the ability of 'seeing'. That lingering, concentrated silence, and those paused time and space create invisible boundary to separate one from distractions in life. It is like roaming around the border, where everything seems to be scattered but complete, speechless but contented, present but formless. The meaning of the existence of memories and images lies in between.

Edward Biberman's groundbreaking depictions of Southern California's haunting urban beauty are today more powerful than ever, as is his determination to live by the same high standard he set for his art. Moving from youthful struggles as he traveled from Paris, to New York, to the American West, Brush With Life illuminates Biberman's growing commitment to social justice, a progressive patriotism through WWII and the McCarthy-era (when Edward's brother, Herbert Biberman, went to prison as one of The Hollywood Ten), and the growth of a singular artistic vision. With epic scope, remarkable characters, and breathtaking paintings, Brush With Life encompasses one man's inspiring efforts to create a loving family life and a body of work that still dazzles. It's an unforgettable journey, an overdue tribute to a brilliant artist, and a rare glimpse into the heart of a deeply humane man.
