“Brilliant Ideas” modern art documentaries
Recently I came upon some documentaries by Bloomberg on modern artists that create on a huge scale. I was truly fascinated and inspired!the series are nearly sixty, every video is approximately 25 minutes long. P.S.

At the beginning there is a lot of humor in the otherwise oppressive and archaic setting, but as the years go by the mood becomes darker and darker – a reflection of the artist’s experiences… “loneliness and solitude are two different things”… I doubt there is a better choice for the role of the growling and eccentric Turner…
