Filmmaker Andy Reichsman talks to 5:45 about his film "Jules Olitski: Modern Master" set to screen at the Brattleboro Musuem and Art Center Friday January 6 at 8:30 PM. Andy and collaborator Kate Purdie will be on hand after the screening to answer questions.

In this 22-minute film, a great American abstract painter discusses his artistic process and philosophy. Charismatic, humorous, and insightful, Jules Olitski is the centerpiece of a film that demystifies his remarkably expansive and at times challenging body of work. Rarely seen footage of the artist at work in his studio complemented by talks and interviews with the artist convey a clear portrait of a man driven to make art.
