Painting in Time: Robert Armstrong on Painting, Film and Video

by Robert Armstrong

Oval Office, Sept. 1998, v. 2, no. 2

Robert Armstrong discusses poetic images and the crystalization of an image in memory as something filmmakers and painters both seek; as something that makes them memorable artists. Armstrong draws similarities between painters' and filmakers' aesthetic styles and the influence they have had over each other. Armstrong also discusses video art as a medium and how it differs from cinema.
