"Breaking Free of the Earth:
Kazimir Malevich 1878-1935"
Documentary

The most inscrutable of the Russian revolutionary artists, Kazimir Malevich had the misfortune to die in official Soviet disfavor, and to remain under that disapproval for decades afterwards. Now political changes have opened the doors to these hidden storerooms, and Malevich's pictures can be publicly viewed once again. This program documents the first major retrospective of his work since his death more than 50 years ago, providing viewers with analyses and commentary on his work that is vivid, precise and personal. Color.  52 minutes.
