Matthew McGoff, The Echo of an Artist – A John Thorton Documentary

I’d like to share this moving half-hour tribute to Matthew McGoff, made by John Thornton about a Philadelphia painter and PAFA alumni who passed away in 2010. Most people, like me, have likely never heard of McGoff but this poignant documentary tells the very familiar story of an artist’s struggle with alcoholism, and mental illness. It is a worthy, important video to watch and reflect on the many other echos gone unheard.
