"Clay Made Me Something:
The Art of Being Louis Dlugosz"

DV, 30 min. 2004

Director/Producer: Andrew Golebiowsky, Vincenzo Mistretta

Description:   Louis F. Dlugosz, (1915 - 2002). The sculptor-steelworker's only formal art training was at the old Art Institute of Buffalo. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, he returned home and launched his career. Using his "pretzel-bending" technique, Dlugosz rolled clay into strips and bent them together for a lattice-work effect, resulting in sculpture with an open rather than a solid interior His work was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Beaux-Arts School and the Louvre in Paris. This Documentary reveals Dlugosz's life not only as an artist who lived his art but an excentric who made art to change the world around him.
