00:02Photo shoot that the artist willingly participates in...
00:05In Burger, Marshall Reiss arrives with the aura of a great gentleman
00:09And a full career now brought to the screen
00:20The paths of wisdom, I know them very well
00:24That doesn't mean I am wise
00:26I had done Pierre Solages 4 and it was the producer who had this idea about Marshall
00:30I went to his place in his studio, all alone with my camera
00:34He is fascinating and he has so many things to say because his work is after all very very varied
00:38Sculpture, cinema, painting, it really is very varied
00:43He is a truly incredible person
00:49François Pinot, businessman and art collector, discovered the work of Marshall Reiss in the late 80s
00:56From the Dordogne to Parisian museums, Stéphane Bertameu's camera follows the artist and his works
01:02Marshall Reiss, pop art star and pioneer of nouveau realism has now become an icon for many
01:07Such as for sculptor and visual artist Fernando Custa
01:12He is right behind me there and I hope to read him
01:14And I have to tell you I'm less of a big shot now because I had tons of questions to
01:17ask him
01:17But I think I'd be unable to ask a single one because he loves me so much
01:22Now 90 years old, Marshall Reiss discusses his status as a role model and sees in this film
01:27A message he cares about passing on to new generations
01:32Many young people who don't have success get discouraged very quickly
01:35Even though they might have wonders in their fingertips
01:40I think that the fact of having confidence in one's work is showing that no matter what happens
01:45I had confidence in my work, above all, is important to highlight
01:52A consistency in his practice that earns him the status today of being the most highly rated living French artist
01:58I think the purpose of being the fact just
01:58Maybe Hines is the most the left
