 Antonio Saura is considered one of the most important Spanish painters of the post-Picasso generation. From his studio in Paris s thirteenth arrondissement, Saura explains how he came to be a painter. And we see him at work: the camera appears to spy on the artist caught up in the act of painting and drawing. Other sequences take us to Saura s native village of Huesca, where he finished painting a monumental ceiling for the town hall.
