"The Painter of Light"

Armando Reverón was as crazy as he was brilliant, as it is mostly the case with prodigious artists. He was Venezuela’s most famous painter, important enough for New York’s Museum of Modern Art to hold a retrospective of his work in 2007. A movie based on the last years of his life is currently showing in our cinemas, holding its own (or trying to) against big summer blockbusters.
