Directed by Michael Blackwood

Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, Georg Baselitz, Markus Lüpertz. Narration by Donald Kuspit.

Narrated by critic Donald Kuspit, A New Spirit in Painting: 6 Painters of the 1980’s explores the creative paths being forged by a collection of modern artists. Through observations of their pieces and intimate discussions ignited by the meaning behind the work, we gain a rare insight into the minds behind the rousing new wave of painting. Often times dark and daring in their aesthetic, the artists have recovered myth, history, symbols and eroticism to use as subject matter, recharging the gestures of previous generations with new intensity and inspiration. 

Significance of Neo-Expressionism on the Art Story.
