Strokes of Genius: de Kooning on de Kooning is one of those documentaries that really captures the essence of its subject. The film has this intimate, almost voyeuristic feel, as we get to sit in on conversations with Willem and Elaine de Kooning. The archival footage adds layers, showing us the vibrant art scene of the time, and you can't help but feel the weight of their legacies. Charlotte Zwerin's pacing is methodical but engaging, allowing the viewer to digest the complex ideas about art and existence. It's a deep dive into the mind of a genius, presented with a raw honesty that’s hard to find in more polished documentaries. A real treat for anyone who appreciates the nuances of abstract expressionism.
