"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Process.

A documentary film of the process of creating Russell Chatham's autographic lithograph, Winter at Deep Creek. The documentary features and is narrated by the artist.

Bad drawing or painting is recognized by timidity, indecision, insensitivity, conventionality, and, of course in the larger sense, by the absence of soul and heart.

Russell Chatham, immersed deeply in the process of his craft. I love that documents like this (and this) exist and that I can watch an artist at work.
