The inspiration for this series came from a terrific documentary I watched about the artist Hank Virgona titled
Nothing Changes: Art for Hank's Sake
Nothing Changes: Art for Hank's Sake
Hank is a man after my own heart and I truly resonated with his style and world view. Here's a summary to whet your appetite. I HIGHLY recommend watching this film!
“Why do we do what we do? What drives us? What inspires us to get out of bed each morning and tackle the day? This is the core question of director Matthew Kaplowitz’s documentary “Nothing Changes: Art for Hank’s Sake,” which introduces audiences to successful, yet lesser-known New York-based artist Hank Virgona.
How far would you go to pursue your passion? At 87 years old, Hank Virgona commutes to his Union Square studio six days a week and makes art. Despite poor health, cancer, lack of revenue and obscurity as an artist, Hank is unrelenting in his quest to understand how life and art are the same.--Matthew Kaplowitz
