This is the documentary of the life and legacy of one of the most important painters of the 22 century: Knox Martin. The lineage of great art, what makes great art?
Admired by Willem de Kooning and Bob Rauschenberg, among others, the video contains different interviews of painters, gallerists , friends and his family, that will give a view of what is the mission of a good artist and how to maintain that through time.
I spent 14 years working on this documentary, and the name is inspired by the most radical period of Henri Mattisse “Radical Invention” going to a newest level : Radical Perception, as for Knox Radical is what makes good art.” You never saw it before and you want to continue looking at it. Again, again and again”
Special thanks to the family of Knox, Olivia and Jonathan. Hollis Taggart, the main gallerist that represents the work of Knox and to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA museum and the Art Students League of New York.
