With his seemingly naïve, symbolic paintings, Joan Miró formed a new artistic language in the 20th century. Brought up in Barcelona, the painter, graphic artist and sculptor was drawn to Paris and, under the influence of the surrealists, developed his unique style and poetic imagery that unite Catalan folk art and fantastic elements. Robin Lough followed the 85-year-old Miró to theatre rehearsals and went to see him in his studio on Majorca. There he met with an amazingly creative and disciplined artist, whose visionary pictures paved the way for abstract expressionism.

An excursus examines Hans Richter and his abstract film "Rhythm 21" made in 1921.Since the early 1990s Olafur Eliasson (*1967), who grew up in Copenhagen, has built up an amazing œuvre consisting of rainbows, sunsets, waterfalls, scent walls, mist, shafts of light, and periscopes. His work navigates between natural phenomena and technology. Eliasson’s work makes the spectator aware of his perception; it makes, as it were, the perception tangible.

Rushdie's novel The Moor's Last Sigh culminates in the search for a portrait that has been painted over. His starting point for the book was his interest in a real lost portrait – one of his mother, painted some fifty years ago. Unfolding a tale as fabulous as Rushdie's fiction, this programme travels to India in search of this painting. Meanwhile, in London, the author talks about The Moor's Last Sigh and the extraordinary conditions in which it was written. As he speaks, he himself is being painted by Bhupen Khakar, one of his favourite Indian artists.

In 1956, the Time Magazine mockingly called one of America’s most important 20th century artists “Jack the Dripper". It did so because Pollock stood for something new: With his innovative technique of “dripping“ and “pouring“ paint, he originated Action painting, and created radical, subjective works, which revolutionised the world of art. Pollock, however, also typified the image of the drunken artist in search of meaning, who became a legend as a result of his premature death. Kim Evans portrays the myth of Pollock, whose abstract painting was celebrated by the media as the quintessential American art form.
