Portrait: Gerald Squires of Newfoundland

JAN 1, 1980 · 26 MIN · DIR. LÉONARD FOREST

Documentary

Newfoundland painter Gerald Squires has referred to his portraits as "confrontations," though not intending the hostility that word can convey. This film shows a meeting between the artist and Edythe Goodridge, art curator and critic. Through a combination of Squires's reflections on his life and work and the good-natured banter of these two friends, an intimate portrait evolves of the artist and his subject.
