Tova Beck-FriedmanA portrait of The Artist as an old(er) Woman (2007)

"I never feel age ...
If you have creative work, you don't have age or time."
Louise Nevelson, American sculptor


Margaret k. Johnson, Hava mehutan and Hanna Eshel are artists it their 80s. These creative and outspoken women still paint, photograph, chisel away at marble and make print-work. The film intersects the timeless passions of the artist and the social demands felt by mid-twentieth century women. We are given an insight into creative energy and vitality that is not hampered by age.

The three artists were born and raised in the early part of the 20th century, an era that did not provide support for women to pursue their career choices. Nevertheless, these women radiate with energy, a vibrant strength of spirit, passion, and commitment to the pursuit of Art. Through childhood, marriage and raising a family, art has been their vehicle to maintain vitality.
