Not Made in Heaven is a documentary by University of Minnesota, Deluth faculty Sarah Bauer and Jen Deitrich feature about the most influential painter of the twentieth century that you have never heard of. Not Made in Heaven explores the myth of the artist through the cool, provocative, controlled, and quietly influential world of painter Philip Pearlstein. In the early 1960s, after serving in the U.S. army and returning to college to study art under the GI Bill, a young painter went against the grain, broke with Abstract Expressionism, and began a 40 year project-that continues to this day-examining the naked human figure in large scale paintings that "tell it like it is." Pearlstein's move, away from the pack was dryly announced with his 1962 article in ArtNews: "Figure Paintings Today are Not Made in Heaven." Commentary by Sister Wendy. Directed by Sarah Bauer and Jen Dietrich. Produced by Sarah Bauer, Jen Dietrich and Althea Wasow (text courtesy of YouTube) View trailer Part 1 [07:15]. Part 2 [04:21]
