Mental telepathy Andy.
I was just thinking of that seminal portrait with the Morton Feldman
soundtrack.
Others that have been meaningful to me:
Bruce Conner's THE WHITE ROSE
(in which Jay DeFeo makes a painting so big and consequential that
an exterior wall has to be knocked down in order
to get its blazing glory out into the world.)
Paola Igliori - American Magus (2002)
EDWARD JAMES:BUILDER OF DREAMS by Avery Danziger
The two portraits of the maddest most sublime bricoleur of all,
Clarence Schmidt,
CLARENCE by Jud Yalkut
MY MIRRORED HOPE by Beryl Sokoloff (1963)
John Cage Mushroom Hunting in Stony Point - Jud Yalkut
The crucial,
Yayoi Kusama and Yalkut's KUSAMA'S SELF OBLITERRATION
Ken Jacob's RONALD GONZALES SCULPTOR
FLO ROUNDS A CORNER
TWO WRENCHING DEPARTURES
Henry Hills NERVOUS KEN with the heartbreakingly beautiful never to be
forgotten
Emma Bernstein!
and my very favorite artist portrait, the segment Ken excised in STAR
SPANGLED TO DEATH
from UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS (1942)
of the whittler William D. Randolph of Rudolph Ohio.
FILM by Samuel Beckett and Alan Schneider
while not intended directly to be a "portrait"
of Buster Keaton
certainly sits in my head that way.
One more
JEU D'ECHECS AVEC MARCEL DUCHAMP (1963)
with appearances by Edgard Varese.
Forthcoming I have one of Ken and Flo Jacobs with Ernie Gehr
walking up Second Avenue on Halloween Eve
after a program of Segundo de Chomon films
at Anthology some years back.

Haven't seen it mentioned so far, but an oft-referenced work in this

Hi, frameworkers. I’m looking for examples of portraits of artists
and/or their processes or their works — sculptors, musicians, poets,
other filmmakers, etc. Really interested in hearing about non-
standard, non-straight-doc, artistic/artist-made films and videos
about other artists. Particularly keen on short works. Bonus
points for ones available in some form online. Thanks in advance
for any suggestions you might have!
All the best,
Kate
