Beyond Words: The Marriage of Art and Literature in Bookmaking A video by Anita Saewitz BEYOND WORDS is a new documentary about contemporary fine art bookmaking.
This 27 minute vieo explores the collaboration of the writer, visual artist and printer in crafting these remarkable volumes of text and image. BEYOND WORDS looks at the fine art books published by Vincent FitzGerald and Company.
Interviews with writers, artists, papermakers, printers, and curators offer unprecedented insight into this creative process. David Mamet and Lee Breuer read from their own editions; actors Kevin Spacey, Kathleen Widdoes and Milo O'Shea read from the literature of Kafka, Joyce and Ibsen. BEYOND WORDS provides insight into this unique art form, which dates back to turn of the century Paris. For those who are unfamiliar with the subject, the viedo will serve as a visual introduction to the intriquing world of fine art bookmaking. |
