Art, Sex And Revolution - The Life And Work Of Tina Modotti

TINA MODOTTI, '20s film star, spy and famed beauty, is remembered above all for her photographs.

But in her short life, she was a woman who inspired passion on both sides of the lens.

The programme is a vibrant profile of Modotti, recorded on location in Mexico City where she and other notorious artists including Diego Rivera worked to create a post-revolution culture in the 1920s.

Presented by art critic and broadcaster LOUISA BUCK, principal contributors include literary light in Mexico, ELENA PONIATOWSKA.
