Emile de Antonio, a distinguished producer of independent films and political documentaries, was a friend and supporter to many artists whose work defined the 1960s. In his fascinating 1973 documentary Painters Painting, 13 artists, among them Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler and Ellsworth Kelly, are interviewed in and around their studios. Curators, critics and dealers including Henry Geldzahler, Clement Greenberg and Leo Castelli provide stimulating narratives about the art world in New York from the 1940s to 1970.
