Overview

German American artist Eva Hesse (1936 โ€“ 1970) created her innovative art in latex and fiberglass in the whirling aesthetic vortex of 1960s New York. Her flowing forms were in part a reaction to the rigid structures of then-popular minimalism, a male-dominated movement. Hesseโ€™s complicated personal life encompassed not only a chaotic 1930s Germany, but also illness and the immigrant culture of New York in the 1940s. One of the twentieth centuryโ€™s most intriguing artists, she finally receives her due in this film, an emotionally gripping journey with a gifted woman of great courage.
