Description
'Why don’t you just paint pretty pictures?' a woman once asked the artist Mary Perry Stone. This film focuses on Mary’s protest work during the Sixties and Seventies. When the film opens in 1960, Mary lives on what later became George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch in Lucas Valley, California. In an old bunkhouse she uses as her studio, she paints. Her murals and paintings reflect her reactions to both the civil rights struggles and the war in Vietnam. Mary Perry Stone, whose work the renowned artist Jacob Lawrence called “creative” and “sensitive”, felt she could not stand by without protesting the events of her times.
