A documentary feature about the most influential painter of the twentieth century that you have never heard of.

An 82-year-old painter, Philip Pearlstein, outlives his friends-including Warhol, Pollock, and DeKooning-and watches himself become a line in the art history books. The film traces Pealstein's struggle with the myth of the artist. A complicated, darkly funny character is revealed who seeks recognition and immortality, yet is suspicious of nearly every step that would secure such a fate.
