Swimmer The Carole Feuerman Story

Sculptor Carole A. Feuerman navigates overwhelming obstacles as she swims against the currents of artistic trends to pioneer a new movement that blurs the line between art and reality. Synopsis: Perhaps you've seen Carole Feuerman's iconic swimmers on Park Avenue in New York, or in the Venice Biennale or along Avenue George V in Pari? Perhaps you've seen them in one of the countless museums and galleries throughout the world. This film is your introduction to her sculptures. They exude a healthful glow, all sun-kissed flesh and delicate beads of water so real you expect them to drip.. The details are astonishing - from the faint bulging of flesh where the fabric of the sculpted swimsuit pinches against the bather, to the wisp of hair peeking out of her swim cap. Her swimmers are beautiful, confident, and serene. We get to spy on them in a moment of private repose. If pieces of painted bronze and resin can have a soul, these do. Their subtle expressions seem evoke a secret inner life. It is the life of Carole Feuerman. This documentary pulls back the curtain and shows you the story behind these sculptures. You will learn about the technical mastery required to create them. Even more importantly, it shows how Carole's personal and artistic journeys are inseparable, and how her lifelong search for love and acceptance resulted in these great masterworks.
