Bard’s girls
heart of talk
Film focuses on women artists
The Portland Art Museum
will show films on two impor
tant contemporary women ar
tists, Louise Nevelson and
Alice Neel, on March 2 at 8
p.m. Films will be shown in the
Berg-Swann Auditorium and
admission is $1.
For the first time, American
sculptor Nevelson has allowed
herself to be filmed while
creating two major new sculp
tures. The film also shows
photographs of the young
Nevelson and of many pieces,
both early and recent, as well,
as presents
voice-over
narration by Nevelson herself
which reveals the outspoken,
yet reserved artist and the
development of her work.
Nevelson says of her life: “I’d
rather work 24 hours in my
studio, and then fall down on
thebed than do anything I
know. This is living ...” And a reception at New York’s
on her work: “ . . .a feast for Graham Gallery where people
are seen next to their portraits,
myself.”
Arnold
Glismacher,
and her induction into the
president of New York’s Pace
American Academy and In
Gallery, calls Nevelson “an
stitute of Arts and Letters. But
architect of light and shadow.”
Critic Cindy Nemser says she
has “taken this chaotic world
and restructured it—given it an
order.”
Alice Neel has been called “a
painter of people.” Her por
traits concentrate on the un
pleasant aspects of the human
the heart of the film is Neel in
the actual process of painting a
portrait.

Now in
predicament— they are
revealing, disturbing, often
shocking, but not caricatural of
cruel. She has been related
