The movie about the black painter is Basquiat. A good movie with a great soundtrack.

factory girl isn't even released yet. that's a big assumption for a film that looks like it's going to MTV the Warhol 60s.

yeah i guess you're right. a big assumption. modigliani wasn't bad either.

Superstar (Andy Warhol) is a great Documentry.
Basquiat and Downtown 81 are really great too.

Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass

Max (2002) was interesting.
Adolf Hitler is the artist - a painter - though unfortunately found out he was much better at the art of public speaking.
