Join us for a special screening of the first feature-length documentary on the artist Jamie Wyeth. As the heir to an unparalleled three-generation dynasty in American art, Wyeth struggles to find his own voice during the colorful turmoil of pop culture and politics from the 1960s to the present. The film follows his journey capturing iconic figures like John F. Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudolf Nureyev, as well as his unique, sometimes unsettling, views of domestic life, the islands of Maine and his own personal ghosts.
Social hour starts at 5:00pm in the member lounge.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker Glenn Holsten.
Glenn Holsten is a documentary storyteller who creates human-driven films, from the arts to the sciences. He has been honored with sixteen Mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards, and a collection of his work was exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 20th Century Video Gallery. He has directed films in China, Argentina, Portugal, Kenya, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Poland, Bosnia and the Republic of Georgia.
