Special Screening: Painting Rules

Special Screening: Painting Rules An art film that\'s more than just a primer on paint; it\'s a primer on life! (2012) 30 min. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the Emmy-nominated, award-winning, husband-and-wife filmmakers Marylou & Jerome Bongiorno Painting Rules provides an engaging look at the philosophy and technique of process painter Jerry Carniglia. Filmed at the famed MacDowell Colony while he and the directors were fellows, the documentary shows Carniglia at work and captures the abstract artist\'s creative method -- the influence of nature, the importance of being sensitive to the integrity of materials, the need to exercise restraint - as well as his inspiration from Aristotle to Keats to Nietzsche. The film serves as more than just a primer on paint; it\'s a primer on life. www.BongiornoProductions.com Thursday, May 22 7:00 pm at Main Library Photo Artist Jerry Carniglia in Painting Rules.
