His students – along with the viewer -- learn that artistic effort is not geared toward the creation of a finished product; it is the process that is all important, an understanding that is both liberating and fortifying and designed to enable the student to look and to see. Brown Bag Lectures Docent Riva Ettus Thursdays, 1-2 p.m., April 26, May 24 & June 21 A 1996 Academy Award nominee for best short documentary, A Self Portrait on the Walls is a remarkable film that records eight days of intense work and quiet rumination as Jim Dine, the internationally-renowned artist currently on view at the museum, produces an exhibition of bold charcoal drawings directly on the walls of the Ludwigsburg Kunstverein near Stuttgart, Germany. This 28-minute documentary captures the artist’s techniques, thought processes, and artistic philosophy as he works and comments on the work.
