The dynamic artist Elizabeth Murray was an intrinsic figure in New York's contemporary art landscape from the 1970s until the early 2000s. This portrait highlights her struggle to balance personal and family ambition with artistic drive in a male-dominated art world and her battle with cancer at the peak of her career.

[A] cogent, fascinating portrait of the artist.
Zea's sharp eye for detail is evident when Murray speaks of being inspired by rural upstate New York (where she had a second home), and we see the same bright colors in tree trunks and a barn that are in the fractured, turning, twisted pieces that make up Murray's canvases.

Within the concise running time, Zea brings a remarkable life and body of work into dynamic focus.

Despite the compact running time, it is easy to feel that you have come to know—and likely admire—Elizabeth Murray. So, mission accomplished.
