BE THE FIRST IN YOUR BUILDING
TO READ "PAINTING PICTURES"
Frank
Appling, a New York boy from Bay Ridge, makes his way through the city,
the neighborhood, the coastal water world he lives in, toward a life in
art. From the day he drew the Verazzano Bridge rising from a coffer dam
in the Hudson River in his composition book, that was it. He wanted to
draw and paint and make sculpture, to do arty things all the time.
It's a story of improvised perseverance -- how Frank moves through late 20th century life, toward the worlds of art; how his painting reflects his Place -- in the land and water, and history of his hometown, the mythical center of everything. How to keep doing it, to keep the love of it, of the doing of it, through all the stuff of life.
