Robert Motherwell and the New York School: Storming the Citadel
Made shortly before Robert Motherwell’s death in 1991, is an exploration of the Abstract Expressionist movement and a portrait of one of its last survivors. Having come to New York in the early 1940s, Motherwell found himself on the battleground of American art. He and a group of painters set out to change the face of American painting. The film charts this epic battle led by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell, who endeavored to make American painting equal to painting elsewhere and, in the process, shifted the center of modern art from Paris to New York.

Reviews
Just what I expected
An absolute waste of money
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
