Curious Worlds: The Art and Imagination of David Beck pulls back the curtain on one of America's most accomplished and original yet least-known working artists. A master sculptor, carver and painter, Beck works in a fantastical genre all his own, creating intricate worlds, alive with observations of the world we know. Curious Worlds captures Beck at work in his studio and reflecting on his process in an intimate portrait illuminating what it takes to create a masterwork: extraordinary ideas, an almost eerie ability to focus on the work, and patience. The only artist to have three shows at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, David Beck comes across as the smartest, most creative guy you knew in high school. He didn't get a day job.
