Morelia, Mexico — Oswaldo Vigas, one of Venezuela’s most prolific and influential painters of the twentieth century, is the subject of “The Orchid Seller,” a documentary screening at this year’s Morelia Film Festival, which world premiered last year at Venice.
The film was directed by the painter’s son Lorenzo Vigas, an established artist in his own right having been nominated for awards at the Goyas, Mar del Plata and San Sebastian, and winning the Golden Lion at Venice in 2015 for his feature debut “From Afar.”
