A documentary of the American artist’s life and work

Described by John Canaday, art critic of the New York Times, as “the world’s most proficient craftsman in egg tempera”, Robert Vickrey is observed creating several of his Magic Realist paintings. “Most painters are intimidated by the demands of the Renaissance technique”, says Vickrey while demonstrating that it can be mastered with practical ease.

Co-produced and co-directed by Richard Camp, Philip Eliasoph, and Scott Vickrey.
