Despite his outspoken reputation, R.B. Kitaj was reluctant to appear on camera. He finally relented in 1994 and allowed himself to be filmed by Jake Auerbach. What followed is a rare and candid glimpse into Kitaj’s childhood, his works, and his development into one of the most celebrated painters of his time.
