[quote]In his 1997 film The Painter expression (or abstract expressionist painting) is pushed beyond even the subconscious level and becomes totally primal. McCarthy's painter manages to slip through the cracks of the art machine's neatly arranged order and into the deep, dark recesses of creativity where no member of the intelligencia would dare to go, believe you me. This painter is kind of an idiot-savant as pronounced by his big, plastic, bulbous nose, overgrown hair and outpatient costume, who makes ridiculously messy paintings using super-large tubes of red, yellow, blue and "shit". He is powered by fits of temper and tends to violate any sanctity left in the act of painting. His oversized fingers prevent him from making anything near delicate so instead he throws the paint, slashes the canvas and threatens his dealer to give him money for it. Is he a product of circumstances? Or is this pure unadulterated expression beaming forth? Or both? What drives the artist to create?
