Stan writes as Joyce would film...9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. From a Wide AngleBy Kevin KillianWhat is the nature of art? What is its bottom line? At first when sent this book I was skeptical; thinking it would be a hagiography of a genuinely difficult artist about whom there are only shades of grey. But editor David E. James anticipated me there; and in his beautifully delineated preface goes right to the heart of the matter; the precipitous decline of Brakhages reputation; a drop nearly unparalleled in contemporary art. Was he; as Annette Michelson or P. Adams Sitney once claimed; the sort of genius artist for whom whole eras used to be named? A filmmaker who combined a sincerity and authenticity with a true avant-garde spirit and actual hardcore discoveries that forever changed the medium? Or was he what his latterday rep suggested; a driven; masculinist obsessive who was able to hide behind patriarchy the failures of an overdetermined use rule?James makes it all sound so obvious; and yet he then comes around and suggests that even the haters might find something to cheer about with a new survey of Brakhages voluminous output. (400 films; of which it was sometimes said that even Brakhage himself had only seen maybe three quarters of them.) Completists will sigh that James compilation is too meager to do him justice; just as they balked at the recent Criterion release of 27 films; with far too many from the last 15 years of his life with those wild hand-painted strips of film. And not even women writing about Brakhage; but thats one of the issues in the first place; isnt it; and this book merely reflects that. Even so; Carolee Schneeeman and (especially) Abigail Child contribute two of the most cogent essays here. There are a few "poetic" pieces written by Brakhages contemporaries; such as the essays by Bruce Baillie and Chuck Strand; that not even their mothers could love.As James points out; there are few notable artists about whom so little biographical information is available. I vote for James himself to give it a go. Not only does his introduction represent and condense a whales load of original research; but one of his own pieces; "Amateurs in an Industry Town" (on Warhol and Brakhage wrestling with Los Angeles both as metropolis and conceptual freedomland); is a brilliant and focussed article that sheds light not only on the supposed duality between the two filmmakers; but on their mutual interests and fellowship.1 of 8 people found the following review helpful.
