Artists of the 20th Century: Paul Klee (2004). This documentary is the video equivalent of an art book, with reproductions of many of Klee's paintings, accompanied by a running commentary. I happen to really like Klee's work, so I enjoyed this DVD immensely -- even though it has no subtitles, which in this rare case are not needed. If I have a complaint about this disc, it is that it is too short, and Klee's works are not placed in historical context. For example, he continued to work through World War I, but no indication of how the war may have affected him is given, even though he is German. The disc could have used some added depth. Grade: A-
