Exhibition on Screen: David Hockney (Film Review) — Hand, Heart and Mind
In June 2026, the art world lost David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Hockney broke out in the early 1960s, making his name in association with the pop art movement, but his legacy was built on the breadth of the diverse multimedia work he produced up to his death. His impressive career took another step up when he moved to Normandy in 2015. Gleefully…
Phil Grabsky Talks Exhibition On Screen: David Hockney — “You see this drive to be a great artist”
The death of David Hockney left the art world reeling in June 2026. He wasn’t just a prolific painter of portrait, landscape, and still life, but a technology advocate, fount of art knowledge and a force of nature.

Exhibition On Screen: Frida Kahlo (Film Review) — Re-Framing A Legacy
The hugely successful Exhibition on Screen returns, with a timely chance to correct an injustice.

This must be the best deal I ever bought: five soundtracks in a box for the price of one.
I had never heard of the Italian (film) composer Remo Anzovino until I saw the brilliant documentary on Vincent van Gogh and noticed the elevating music - not that van Gogh’s art needs elevation.
These five fine movies on art were all created by documentarian Phil Grabsky’s company Seventh Art.
The fact that they hired a composer to write music for their art movies (published under the name “Exhibition on Screen”) shows the degree of dedication in their unprecedented series on art history.
Hooray for the series and the music!

Leonardo: The Works
Leonardo: The Works [trailer]
Doc that presents every single attributed painting of Leonardo da Vinci.
Very convenient way in times of the pandemic to see all of his paintings, including the lesser known ones, at museums around the world, without having to go to places like Paris, Florence, Milan, St. Petersburg or London.
The pastoral singing often used as background music at times went on my nerves.
