At 88 years-old, Audrey Flack holds a unique place in the history of the contemporary art world. Feminist, rebel, mother, painter, sculptor and teacher, Audrey’s often controversial 40-year career evolved from abstract expressionism in the 1950s to photorealism in the 1970s. One of the first women ever included in the famed Janson’s History of Art, Audrey continues to create, explore, and inspire with her unique style and indomitable spirit.
A moving portrait of an artist who is still testing, still experimenting, still searching, QUEEN OF HEARTS follows Flack as she takes her work in brand new directions and discusses her long-term struggles as the mother of a child with autism. Returning to the canvas for the first time in decades, it's clear that she still has something deep and genuine to communicate to the world.
"Artists do not just paint for themselves and they don’t simply paint for an audience. They paint because they have to," - Audrey Flack.
