« Artist on Fire is an astoundingly dynamic piece of filmmaking. [...] In a way, Artist on Fire heralds a new form of art criticism, albeit in cinematic form. While there is a lot of commentary in the film—friends and acquaintances of Wieland discuss her and her work in voice-overs—Armatage is not interested in critical or historical judgements. What we get, rather, is a total—visual, aural, domestic, metaphysical—immersion in Wieland's world. »
