(photograph by francesca woodman, ca. 1980)
a troubled artist daughter finding her way in her own way and with her own medium, francesca is the ghost that brought them real fame.
art as healing: betty stopped making useful ceramic objects.
george starting making photographs, of nude models creepily reminiscent of his daughter.
the posturing of both of them, arms crossed and in control.
thirty years of bearing whatever pain you can bear and guilt you can muster and continuing to make art everyday.
and allowing yourself to be filmed .
i used to wish my parents were artists.
after seeing this movie i am glad they were not.
