If only PBS would devote more time to visual art--this series is an important first step, but after a tantalizing taste, viewers are provided no further programming to advance their interest...I find myself oddly wishing for a return to the 70s and 80s, when funding for avant garde programs was plentiful, and the airwaves featured such fare as New Television and Alive From Off Center...
