The Cool School

or how LA learned to love modern art

March 24 & 25, 2008 | a film by Morgan Neville

The Cool School is the story of Los Angeles’ legendary Ferus Gallery and the birth of the West Coast modern art scene.

“One of the most fun art documentaries I've seen…a movie that’s true to the best parts of its subjects.” – Jen Graves, The Stranger

“The Cool School is a thoughtful slice of a critical moment in American art history. It’s also a fast-paced educational and entertaining romp through L.A. of the late 1950s to early 1960s.” – Houston Chronicle
