A superstar in the art world, but little known outside, why does Eva Hesse continue to excite passions? This brilliant, gifted and visionary woman of 1960s NY survives personal chaos while creating work that changes the profile of art history. Along with creating a significant and deeply influential body of work during her short life, her story overlaps some of 20th century's most intriguing moments: Germany in the 1930's, New York's Jewish culture of immigration in the 1940's and the art scene in Manhattan and Germany in the 1960's. Hesse, one of the most important 20th century artists is finally revealed in this character-driven film, an emotionally gripping and inspiring journey with an artist of uncommon talent, a woman of extraordinary courage.
Leave your thoughts about Eva Hesse.
| Detroit NewsTom Long"Eva Hesse" is a remarkable film about an even more remarkable artist, a woman who playfully and resolutely turned the world of sculpture inside out. |
| Chicago ReaderDmitry SamarovMarcie Begleiter directed this warm documentary about the short, extraordinary life of the title artist, who died at age 34 of a brain tumor. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyAside from her laudable work ethos, Hesse never comes across as an interesting documentary subject. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIt’s the film Hesse deserves — lively and concise, though calmly comprehensive; thoughtful and essentially serious, but with a witty appreciation of the oddity, recklessness and absurdity that its subject valued; rich with history, and beautifully made in its own right. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenA vibrant, affecting piece of filmmaking that’s sure to widen Hesse's following. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottIt’s like a comprehensive exhibition catalog or a thorough critical essay — an indispensable aid to understanding and appreciating a fascinating artist. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOne of the film's most poignant moments occurs at the end, with a brief shot of Hesse's gravestone. It was designed, we're informed, by Sol LeWitt. |
| The GateAndrew ParkerA full and compelling picture is painted of a major talent that the world lost far too soon. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonEva Hesse relies too heavily on ventriloquism to recapitulate the high and low points of the artist |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeBlair has a colorless, weirdly teenage delivery that doesn’t convey Hesse’s vivid, brilliant personality. It is odd to watch a documentary where the subject becomes more interesting when she is discussed by other people. |
