| Eva Hesse (1936-1970) is one of America’s foremost postwar artists. Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fibergIass, and plastics, helped estabIish the post-minimalist movement. Dying of a brain tumor at age 34, she had a mere decade-Iong career that, despite its brevity, is dense with complex, intriguing works that defy easy categorization. EVA HESSE, the first feature-length appreciation of her life and work, makes superb use of the artist’s voIuminous journals, her correspondence with cIose friend and mentor SoI LeWitt, and contemporary as welI as archival interviews with feIlow artists (among them, Richard Serra, Robert Mangold, Dan Graham) who recaII her passionate, ambitious, tenacious personaIity. Art critic Arthur Danto has written that her work is: "fuII of life, of eros, even of comedy... Each piece vibrates with originaIity and mischief." The documentary captures these qualities, but also the psychic struggles of an artist who, in the downtown New York art scene of the 1960s, was one of the few women to make work that was taken seriously in a field dominated by male pop artists and minimaIists. |
