| book description |

When Arthur Lipsettâ€™s first film was nominated for an Academy Award in 1962, the event marked the arrival of an influential turn in cinema. The filmâ€™s dark humour and dancing rhythms had captured the spirit of his times. When Lipsett committed suicide in 1986, the humour and joy of his work was eclipsed by that sardonic darkness. It all came to feel like an omen. Secret Museums is a study in the life and work of Canadian collage filmmaker Arthur Lipsett, whose struggles with mental illness have overshadowed his vital and innovative work. Author Stephen Broomer explores the spiritual themes and formal challenges posed by Lipsettâ€™s films and the artistâ€™s absurdist, comic, beatnik sensibility. As a critical biography, Secret Museums follows the trajectory of Lipsettâ€™s life through his years as a filmmaker (1960-1975) and after, with new interpretations and analysis of his eight completed films. In Secret Museums, Lipsettâ€™s films are recognized as riotous comedies that reflect the artistâ€™s resilience. It serves as a new interpretation of Lipsett and his films, positioning him as both a visionary force and a holy fool, illuminating fresh pathways through his work that reflect his understandings of his sources and his world.
