When he tires of the clamor of words, Eugene Ionesco starts painting. In a studio in St Gall, Switzerland, he exudes colours and forms as he would words, and he never stops talking, confronting us, laughing at us or himself, expressing the same anxieties and dreams, and interpreting excerpts from his plays. Tragicomic beings appear on the paper: there are false masks and real faces, knights clad in black or sheathed in a multicoloured armor; there are the branches of unknown trees, and bursts of grim laughter, and hieroglyphics. Sometimes he accepts a question, shares a confidence, a wink, a smile, then he takes up his brush, leaves time in suspension and traces a line. 'A film of rare quality ... The director succeeds in playing down his own role, the better to bring out the connections between painting and speech, the image and the voice, abstract thought and the irrepressible burgeoning forth of forms.' La Libre Belgique, Brussels 'An extraordinary vivid portrait...' Le Soir, Brussels 'A very fine film...' Pourquoi pas?, Brussels '...creativity and old age ... a new creative language aptly documented in this program ... the artist's own statements and his reading from plays, essays, and fiction on the nature of art, creativity, and aging are worth listening to. Skillful camera weaving of paintings, the artist at work, and the artist musing on creativity in dramatic settings ... imbued with intelligence, wit, and wisdom.' program Rating Guide for Libraries, USA Credits Scenario: Thierry Zeno with: the collaboration of Eugene Ionesco Narrator/Participant: Eugene Ionesco Also available in French 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 546 In English 653 K-12 653 Visual Art 700 1 Zeno, Thierry,|efilmmaker 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/58865|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/58865/external- image
