Village Voice, June 3-9 1998. The Female Closet Hammer's new doc is an accomplished scissors-and-paste-job, using talking heads, home movies, and archival photographs in its investigation of the lives, art and sexual histories of three women artists: photographer Alice Austen; photomontagist Hannah Höch, best known for her work during the 1920s, now a cult figure in Germany; and contemporary New York painter Nicole Eisenman. The portrait of Austen that emerges is particularly complex and interesting. (Stein) |
