Description

David A Leffel: An American Master is a film about the journey of a small child from Brooklyn who barely escaped death, spent his youth recovering in a hospital until age 15, and who then, against all odds, has gone on to become one of the most influential realist artists of our time. We follow his struggles as a young art student who uses his extraordinary intelligence to understand painting in a manner not seen since Rembrandt. Leffel’s iconoclastic approach to teaching and painting has, arguably, revolutionized our perception of representational painting. Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes
