James Kalm creates an in depth to of video tour of paintings by Forrest Bess recently on view at Christie's and at the Whitney Biennial, on view through May 27, 2012.
Kalm's video includes fantastic close-ups of Bess' paintings. He notes that Bess is "one of the most mythic and eccentric American painters of the Twentieth Century… this program records over twenty-six minutes of paintings, possibly documenting twenty-five percent of his life's output."
