" APPLE SUMMER "
by Holly Fisher
The documentary film, " APPLE SUMMER ", with artist Donn Moulton creating his fiberglass apples in his studio in Cambridge, Mass. and camping in Maine during the summer of 1974 has recently been restored. It shows the artist at work and play with fellow artist/colleagues Fritz Buehner, Karin Rosenthal, Court Bennett, and related children. The original movie was created on 16mm film by N.Y. filmaker Holly Fisher. She has had the film restored and transfered to DVD. If you knew Donn, it's a must! If you didn't know him it's a wonderful film of the artist, his work, his philosophy and the 70's culture. The apples being created were for a one man show at the Jill Kornblee Gallery in N.Y.,N.Y.
