3: Questions about the film
In this concluding paragraph you should raise questions. What questions do you have regarding
the accuracy of events? How would you approach separating fact from film fiction? What
potential avenues of inquiry did you find in the film? Are there any artworks, events, and/ or
personal or private relationships would you like to learn more about? Were you able to come to
any conclusions bases on your perfunctory investigation in Oxford Art Online? What research
would need to be done in order to answer these questions? Do you know if there are any primary
sources (first-hand accounts, letters, diaries, interviews) existing about or written by this artist
that would provide useful in this inquiry? To what degree do you think this film based on
primary sources and to what degree is it an invention of the writers or adapted from a fictional
novel?
