$aul Clem Green The first one to come out as a video Artist in a time when painting was a huge part of the art industry. Highly regarded by the public as one of the greatest artists ever to emerge from obscurity to fame. TV experimental research in sound design early video production pushed to a new level. This a movie about how the brain can change its perception of reality by using the newest technologies of the time. Therefore it is possible for a person to experience reality through their eyes or through their own experience in real world situations in which upright posture can change perception in brain of an individual.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/23 Full Review robert o American Master? Pfui! Junk program, worth perhaps 20 minutes on the Nightly News Hour as some historical footnote. The real story is the back story, why NYC art critics went for this lonely loser expat from South Korea and went back on their original devastating reviews of this character along with his loser topless cellist "I have a Master's Degree from Julliard" who has her own story of adult attention seeking and never sustained a serious career in music. This story probably will never be told and is likely and gratefully lost. Put Rockefeller Foundation money behind any obscure artist self obsessed "artist", give him technical help in the thousands and you will often likely find a few interesting pieces. The real story probably centers on the man's upbringing by a doting mother, creating a man-child who is intent on recreating his self-centric childhood in the larger art world of NYC, where there's always an interest in the avantguard, the exotic, the foreign, the obscure waiting to be "discovered." And my god PBS, can't you show a couple unimpressive breasts of this self-seeking "artist" cellist without obliterating the visual with your Victorian inhibitions? You choose to feature such transgressiveness, and yet are slavishly prudish. Such a contradiction. I only watched an hour, mostly because my local museum wasted money on one of the topless cellist TV sculptures, and memories of a LIFE magazine cover featuring her topless with propellers attached to her breasts.
