- **Event Description**: KMA presents BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING with special guest Wayne White • $5 screening Wednesday March 18


We're thrilled to welcome Chattanooga born, LA based pop art legend Wayne White to Central Cinema as he introduces this 2012 documentary about his varied and fascinating career. This one-off screening ($5 for the general public and FREE for KMA members and members of the Poetry Guild) is presented as part of our ongoing series with Central Cinema. 


BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING is a funny, irreverent, joyful and inspiring documentary featuring the life and current times of one of America's most important artists, Wayne White. Raised in the mountains of Tennessee, Wayne White started his career as a cartoonist in New York City. He quickly found success as one of the creators of the TV show, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, which led to more work designing some of the most arresting and iconic images in pop culture. Most recently, his word paintings, which feature pithy and often sarcastic text statements crafted onto vintage landscape paintings, have made him a darling of the fine art world.


BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING chronicles the vaulted highs and the crushing lows of a commercial artist struggling to find peace and balance between his work and his art. Acting as his own narrator, Wayne guides us through his life using moments from his latest creation: a hilarious, biographical one-man show. At its core, BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING is a reminder that we should all follow our passion. It is those creative impulses that will lead us to where we need to go.
