Emile Norman: By His Own Design

This is a portrait of the artist Emile Norman, who worked with a passion for life, art, nature and freedom that inspired him through seven decades of a changing art scene and turbulent times for a gay man in America. The film chronicles his early days in the San Gabriel Valley, his success in New York City, and the freedom he found in Big Sur, where he and his partner of 30 years created a haven for artists that is still growing today.
