- With Peter Bradley. by Rappoport, Alex,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
- Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2023.79 years old and overlooked since the 1970’s, abstract artist Peter Bradley reflects on life and shares his artistic process on the cusp of his rediscovery.

WITH PETER BRADLEY is a celebration of artmaking, resilience, and the creative contributions of Black artists to American life.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
