THE DANCE OF THE BRUSHES

'By far one of my favourites for its beauty and aesthetic audacity. The New Zealander Charles Olsen has created a rhythmic flamenco portrayal of Les demoiselles d’Avignon the masterpiece of Picasso. Superimposed highly coloured images, the movement of dresses, rustling eye-like fans … this short film is a real treat, an artistic reverie of freshness and incredible originality.'

Delphine Neimon, The ARTchemists
