This colourful documentary was completed in time to correspond with a major exhibition of Margaret Mellis’s work , survivor of the celebrated British-based St. Ives group of the 1930s. Mellis’s unique talent generated amazing canvases of bold colour, and reconfigured found objects from the natural world. She was deeply a part of her time but in a world dominated by men. Susannah York narrates in dulcet tones, just seductive enough to make us want to run to the nearest art gallery.
