The Artist's Wife centers on Claire (Lena Olin), the wife of famed artist Richard Smythson (Bruce Dern) and once a promising painter herself, who now lives in the shadow of her husband's illustrious career. While preparing work for a new exhibition, Richard is diagnosed with dementia. As Richard's memories and moods become lost and erratic, Claire attempts to shield his illness from the art community while trying to reconnect him with his estranged daughter (Juliet Rylance) and grandson (Ravi Cabot-Conyers). Claire, who has taken up painting once again, must decide whether to stand with her husband in the shadows or step into the spotlight herself.[10]
