Portraits in Creativity: Maira Kalman

Gael Towey's short film series "Portraits in Creativity" documents artists and their inspirations. Here Maira Kalman explores her thoughts on creativity, the importance of day dreaming and the keys to having a full life. With her characteristic humor, tender observations of our human foibles, and gorgeous sense of color, she asks, “Who are we? How are we documenting ourselves? Is this a dream? Are we in costume?” In partnership with The Met, MoMA and The Guggenheim, Maira explores these essential questions through painting, publication and performance. www.portraitsincreativity.com
