Painters Painting by Emile de Antonios

This is a classic. I remember watching this more than once in undergrad. I tried looking for it a couple of years ago but could only find it on VHS and well... who has one of those any more. Thank you to Ellen Soffer for posting it on Twitter. There are three parts below. This is not the full documentary but a good part of it. If anyone knows of a DVD release please add a comment.
