The Iconoclasts
3f, 3m — Full Length
At the behest of her boss, an acclaimed Chicago visual artist, Morgan rifles through a storage unit looking for a teapot that belonged to a dead Russian painter, steeped in his own mythos. When she's visited by his ghost, inspiration strikes her violently, turning her world (and everyone else's) into a chaotic sprint of yellow gouache and bloodied hands. The Iconoclasts explores whether the tragedy of creation is made my the art or the artists themselves.
