Artists of the 20th Century: Andy Warhol
Considered by many to be the most influential American artist in the second half of the 20th century, Andy Warhol used commercial silk-screening techniques to create identical mass-produced images on canvas, and then added variations in color to give each print of an edition a different look. His quirky series of films (many shot at his Manhattan studio loft called "The Factory") were also influential.
Artists of the 20th Century: Rene Magritte
Rene Magritte (1898-1967) was a Surrealist ahead of his time. Indeed, the world needed more than a quarter of a century to discover that his work has both philosophical and poetic content that corresponds to certain social and intellectual trends in the second half of the 20th century. This documentary is part of the "Artists of the 20th Century" series that examines the life and work of major artists of the century.

Aspect
Across the surface of the forest, light, colour, shadow shift; rhythmic, kaleidoscopic. Matter and the immaterial in constant counteraction. The screen becomes a painting in animation. Ordinarily, light describes the motif. Here, the forest is almost – almost – occluded as the light that delineates the world becomes autonomous, visible; describes itself as subject. There are some very strange effects: light and shadow grow, die back; bark shimmers; branches tremble, or clouds pass above; trees shiver in the cold, or shake in threatening gesture; sunlight flickers, on and off, like an electric bulb. The portrait lives. These films are not the index of space and objects, but a cinema of time, movement, light; flickering lashes of mesmerised eyes in the click of an aperture.

AT LAST I AM FREE
I walk on the rim of the abyss, and I tremble. Two voices contend within me. The mind: “Why waste ourselves by pursuing the impossible? Within the holy enclosure of our five senses it is our duty to acknowledge the limitations of man.” But another voice within me – call it the Sixth Power, call it the heart – resists and shouts: “No! No! Never acknowledge the limitations of man. Smash all boundaries! Deny whatever your eyes see. Die every moment, but say: Death does not exist.’” Nikos Kazantzakis
