PENTIMENTI PRODUCTIONS NFP

Pentimenti is an arts nonprofit and documentary production company based in chicago with a mission to develop, support, and exhibit films about art and artists. For the first several years of its existence, pentimenti's primary activity has been the production and distribution of its first film, hairy who & the chicago imagists, which focuses on the history, impact, and legacy of a group of visual artists from the school of the art institute of chicago who came to prominence starting in the 1960s. The film has screened nationally and internationally, and is available digitally and on dvd/blu-ray. To supplement the film, pentimenti created the chicago imagist web archive, a free online resource for people to learn more about the artists. In 2014, pentimenti began work on its second feature-length documentary, a 3-d documentary film about the life and work of artist and marine h.c. Westermann, which is currently the organization's primary activity.
