Maestro
Director: Shangze Li
Tate is learning how to paint in Princeton Academy of Arts, a private studio in New Jersey where classical painting technique and ideology are being taught by a master of the genre, Gilberto. Gilberto gave up his fame, and left his family to come teach here from Russia, and through a translator he teaches all his classes. Tate, and Gilberto’s other students, are here to pursue some kind of art dream. What awaits them in this way of becoming a master?
