About the book
British director Peter Greenaway trained as a painter for four years and is known to be an art lover. His movies draw from Northern Renaissance and Baroque compositions and palettes, and he has also created digital video installations 'remixing' famous paintings. Papers illustrates how, in between making films, Greenaway stretched his imagination with pencils, gum, gouache and acrylics. This publication brings together for the first time a key selection of his works: of interest in themselves but also bearing witness to the filmmaking process. Peter Greenaway (born 1942) began making his own movies in 1966. He has made 12 feature films and 50 short films and documentaries, and has regularly been nominated for the Cannes, Venice and Berlin Film Festivals.
