October 21, 1994: Elizabeth Murray Walks the Met with the New York Times
This story was published 25 years ago in The New York Times by Michael Kimmelman featuring Elizabeth Murray discussing art and artists at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
As they walk through the Met, Elizabeth makes many confessions while revealing those artists she has found to be most inspiring. "Cézanne was the first painter I saw when I was a young art student: it was like knocking on a door and hearing an answer," she said.
"Looking for the Magic in Painting" also reveals deep rooted personal struggles that as a woman artist, she faced despite her many successes.

INTRODUCING A New Film
In TALKING PICTURES, poet performer extraordinaire Bob Holman, founder of the legendary Bowery Poetry Club, is inspired by an exhibition of the supremely individualistic, off-the-wall paintings of his late wife, Elizabeth Murray.
His performance bridges the relationship between poetry and painting, and asks the question If paintings could talk, would they speak poetry?
Directed by Oscar and Critics Choice nominee Kristi Zea (Everybody Knows... Elizabeth Murray; Notes from the Field) with music by Oscar nominee, David Lang, and edited/arranged by Charles Caster-Dudzick. Talking Pictures is produced by Bowery Art + Sciences.
