[Frameworks] Films about painting as action/gesture

[Heath Iverson]

Hey Herb,

Paul Sietsema's *Anticultural Positions* (2009) is an interesting film in
this context. It consists almost entirely of abstract images of paint and
varnish on the surfaces of the artist's (he's also a painter) studio. Also,
the sound track contains excepts from a lecture on painting by the artist
Jean Debuffet.

Best,
Heath
