Many
artists use the pain, exhilaration and resolution of private desires to
express themselves. This film focuses on intense personalities who've used
their art to explore the emotional impact of psychological truths. With
Louise Bourgeois, Ed Ruscha, Michael Ray
Charles, Elizabeth Peyton, Lari Pittman, Richmond Burton, David Deutsch,
writer Dave Hickey & others.
A Ruling Passion plumbs issues that affect artists - preoccupations of startling
universality - like community, motivation and controversy, finding one's
audience, and just "getting it right."
