Beauty Is Embarrassing (2012, 87 minutes) is a funny, irreverent, and inspiring documentary on artist Wayne White, 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.
