- Synopsis:
- German American artist Eva Hesse (1936 - 1970) created her innovative art in latex and fiberglass in the whirling aesthetic vortex of 1960's New York. Her flowing forms were in part a reaction to the rigid structures of then-popular minimalism, a male-dominated movement. Hesse’s complicated personal life encompassed not only a chaotic 1930's Germany, but also illness and the immigrant culture of New York in the 1940's. One of the twentieth century’s most intriguing artists, she finally receives her due in this film, an emotionally gripping journey with a gifted woman of great courage.
