Praca: film - The case of Josephine H... 2014 (50`)
Izabella Gustowska
Artist-filmmaker
Following a long career in multimedia and teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan,
where she also studied, Gustowska is known in the film world for her first documentary,
“The Case of Josephine H.” (2), which preemed at the 2014 New Horizons Film Festival and recounts the story of painter Edward Hopper’s wife, Josephine, who searched for her own muse in New York City. The move to feature-length docs looks like an easy one for
Gustowska, who was born in 1948 in Poznan, where she continues to work and live, and
made a career in the arts, working in the fields of prints, painting, video installation and
video performance. She has also run galleries and mounted many exhibitions, and staged her
own one-woman shows.
