The Eyes of Orson Welles
Orson Welles was trained as an artist before to becoming an actor and director, and he continued to draw and paint throughout his career, including character sketches, storyboards, set designs, and portraits of those who influenced him. The majority of these pieces have never been viewed by anybody outside of the artist's immediate family. For the first time, award-winning filmmaker Mark Cousins has been granted access to this treasure mine of material in order to create a film about what he discovers there - the never-before-told narrative of Welles' visual thinking. An exclusive new viewpoint on one of the 20th century's most influential creative personalities, whose work and life continue to fascinate viewers.
