- Summary:
- The documentary examines the life and works of Julius John Lankes and his multiple connections and relationships with other artists and intellectuals in the period between the two major wars of the 20th century. Robert Frost, Charles Burchfield, Sherwood Anderson, and Rockwell Kent are some of the names to which writer-director Montes-Bradley resorts in order to contextualize what he likes to define as the rise & fall of J. J. Lankes. The Buffalo native was part of the woodcutting and printmaking revival movement in New England by the time he settles in the "provincial south of confederate veterans and Jim Crow". The film also explores Lanke's work in the relative context of similar movements in other parts of the world, and in response to the political struggles of American intellectualism.
