Russell creates his window into the world of these 4 now-mostly-forgotten artists with almost no narration or dialogue, and his already-evident genius for using music + images to get across his ideas - here, some very well-chosen pop songs. Then, at the end, for the montage of the artists doing their work, we hear Bach's concerto for 4 harpsichords, an arrangement of a Vivaldi concerto, as if to say the actual work part of the creative process is and will always be the same. Genius.
