Golub's later paintings continue to report on the world, but now with the dissonances and discontinuities that led Theodor Adorno in his essay on late Beethoven to proclaim, "In the history of art, late works are the catastrophes". Woman as Protagonist: The Art of Nancy Spero is a documentary about the work of feminist artist, Nancy Spero, and her confrontations with a male dominated art world.
