Celebrating Women Artists Film Series: Arc of Light: A Portrait of Anna Campbell Bliss

This documentary traces Bliss’s evolution from ground-breaking architect to cutting-edge artist: her work fuses architecture, mathematics, computer technology, painting, printmaking, and calligraphy. The film also examines the roots of Bliss’s art in the Bauhaus school, which flourished in Germany in the 1920s. Viewers will learn how Bliss’s studies with Bauhaus exponents Walter Gropius and Gyorgy Kepes, as well as her links to Josef Albers, R. Buckminster Fuller, and other figures shaped her creative development. The film features interviews with the artist and her husband, Robert, as well as other art world professionals. Free to Museum members and visitors with paid admission; reservations required.
