[Frameworks] Films about painting as action/gesture

[Stephen Broomer]

Herb,

A couple of examples from Canada:

Jack Chambers' R-34 (1967). This is Chambers' film of the neo-Dada collagist and painter Greg Curnoe, which mixes footage of Curnoe at work in his studio with scenes from his daily life and his community in London, Ontario; Chambers' editing mirrors Curnoe's collage aesthetics. http://www.cfmdc.org/node/1126 

Jaimz Asmundson's The Magus (2011), about his father C. Graham Asmundson, very much concerned with the action of painting - https://vimeo.com/18862721

For my project, I’m not really interested in docs about painters discussing their work and their philosophies, but rather films or documentation of artists in the act of putting “paint” to “canvas”, no matter how unconventional or abstract. Some mixture of discussion and activity is fine, but the emphasis should be on the action.
