Directed by Amalie R. Rothschild • Documentary • With May Wilson, Meredith Monk • 1969 • 34 minutes

When her husband informs her, after 40 years of marriage, that his future plans no longer include her, May Wilson, age 60, former "wife-mother-housekeeper-cook" and a grandmother, moves to New York City and discovers an independent life of her own for the first time in which the art, that had once been a hobby, becomes central.

"One of the most exciting and moving portraits of an artist that I've seen. An amazing person and presence, saying, doing, and making brilliant things. Rothschild films her daily activities, processes, and work with rapt fascination, uninhibited curiosity (as Wilson admits there's much she won't talk about), and deep admiration.” —Richard Brody
