someone else mentioned Sam Francis by Jeffrey Perkins. He took 16 years or more 
to make the film and has a lot of amazing footage of Francis painting

Herb,

A couple of examples from Canada:

Jack Chambers' R-34 (1967). This is Chambers' film of the neo-Dada collagist 
and painter Greg Curnoe, which mixes footage of Curnoe at work in his studio 
with scenes from his daily life and his community in London, Ontario; Chambers' 
editing mirrors Curnoe's collage aesthetics. http://www.cfmdc.org/node/1126

Jaimz Asmundson's The Magus (2011), about his father C. Graham Asmundson, very 
much concerned with the action of painting - https://vimeo.com/18862721

Kim Beom, Yellow Scream! It's fantastic, and sounds like it's exactly what 
you're looking for - it is predicated on gesture (vocal as well as physical). 
Saw it at the Walker a year or so ago!

Subject: [Frameworks] Films about painting as action/gesture
Hello all,

Here is something I've been thinking about lately: films/videos that show the 
action of someone painting. For my project, I'm not really interested in docs 
about painters discussing their work and their philosophies, but rather films 
or documentation of artists in the act of putting "paint" to "canvas", no 
matter how unconventional or abstract. Some mixture of discussion and activity 
is fine, but the emphasis should be on the action.

I'm thinking about things like the film documentation of Yves Klein's 
Anthropometries painting-performances or John Baldessari's Six Colorful Inside 
Jobs, for example.

Thanks in advance for any help!
