This is beautiful to watch. All forms of art have always held my attention. Especially understanding the thought process of the artist

[@tsvetomilivanov7618]

One of the greatest.

I just wish we would do documentaries while the legends are still alive

I remember in art school seeing for the first time Christo's amazing "Running Fence". It was stunning. Followed by the long list of other projects. He's not been given the lasting attention that he deserves. I guess that's part of Art As An Experience, in contrast to art as a product to hang on walls.
