Our take

Acclaimed documentarian Emile de Antonio (In the Year of the Pig) captures yet another vital part of American social and cultural history, the New York School of painters, in this incredible survey featuring such giants of 20th century art as De Kooning, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol and more.
