Hosted by Dustin Hoffman, the film portrays Franz Kline, best known for his vigorous, large-scale black and white abstractions. Kline (1910-1962) is one of the preeminent painters of our century. Rare personal interviews with Kline`s contemporaries explore the iconoclastic spirit of the artist. Beginning in his childhood in Pennsylvania`s coal towns to his bohemian lifestyle in the Greenwich Village of the 1930`s and 40`s, Franz Kline Remembered documents the struggles, innovations, and triumphs of one of the New York School`s most daring artists..
