Revolution: New Art for a New World
BBC FOUR, 9.00PM
Both Reformation and Russian Revolution have received excellent coverage on the BBC in their anniversary years. This film explores the remarkable avant-garde art of Chagall, Kandinsky and the like, inspired by the events of 1917, as well as the brutal treatment meted out to them when they fell out of favour. Matthew Macfadyen and Tom Hollander bring their words to life, while the art is given just enough context to speak for itself. GT
