The Eyes of Orson Welles
Before becoming an actor and director, Orson Welles was trained as an artist, and he continued to draw and paint throughout his career, including character sketches, storyboards, set designs, and portraits of the individuals who inspired him. The majority of these pieces have never been viewed by anyone outside of his family and close friends. For the first time, award-winning director Mark Cousins has been granted access to this treasure trove of imagery in order to create a film about what he discovers-a never-before-told story of Welles' visual thinking. An exclusive new viewpoint on one of the most influential creative figures of the 20th century, whose art and life continue to amaze viewers today.
