David Driskell: In Search of the Creative Truth

David Driskell: In Search of the Creative Truth, is a story about one of today's most important artists and leading authorities on African American art.  The film captures Driskell making collages inspired by his mentor Romare Bearden, documents him in conversation with National Gallery curator Ruth Fine, and painting at his easel in Falmouth, Maine studio.  The film also explores the give and take of his creative relationship with master print maker, Curlee Holton.  It all results in powerful works that pull from abstract expressionism, African art/masks, Coptic art, modernism, cubism - the history of all art in the works of this wise and gentle man.  Also features artist Keith Morrison, author/curator Julie McGee, curator Adrienne Childs, gallerist Peggy Greenhut Golden.  Directed by Richard Kane, co-produced by Bruce Brown, and sponsored by the Union of Maine Visual Artists.
