The abstract painter Mary Heilmann’s geometric works and visual interpretations of her life have served as inspiration for generations of artists—particularly women—since the 1960s. And today, at the age of 84, Heilmann is still hard at work. She paints often with vibrant colors, drip techniques, and malleable geometries, for a minimalist result that is slightly off-kilter. The new documentary Waves, Roads, & Hallucinations (available for streaming on July 30) from director Matt Creed chronicles the artist’s life and work through archival footage and intimate, present-day conversations, mostly taking place in the artist’s studios in Bridgehampton and Tribeca over seven years.
