Ineffable, an artist documentary directed by Jesse Brass about painter Bo Bartlett.

After our recent article about Bo Bartlett, we want to show you a little more of this exceptional painter. As part of his ongoing “Making Art” series, director and filmmaker Jesse Brass of Brass Brothers Films has produced this beautiful documentary about American realist painter Bo Bartlett. With poetry by T. S. Eliot, the film masterfully documents the creative life and work of this outstanding artist. Music courtesy of Century of Aeroplanes, Lee Rosevere, Betsy Eby & Jason Leonard. For further information about the artist, please visit his website or check out this earlier article on WE AND THE COLOR.
