Tuesday, June 6 CBS NEWS HOUR (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). "Gauguin in Tahiti: The Search for Paradise." Sir Michael Redgrave is the voice of Paul Gauguin in a special that focuses on the painter's years in Tahiti...
...Travail du Peintre (1957) is a cycle of seven songs on poems by Paul Eluard, each of which portrays a painter of this century: Picasso, Chagall, Braque, Gris, Klee, Miro, Villon. Despite their date, they, too, hearken back to an earlier period and have a great deal in common with the songs of Faure.

His casting, an amalgam of amateur and professional actors, is flawless. The blind girl literally lives her role; she is truly blind. The ragpicker (Sachiko Hidari), a painter who never acted before, is as narrow as a rice stalk, so emaciated that he sometimes seems to have two profiles in search of a face. But Hidari radiates a beggar's joie de vivre, in contrast to the boredom of the well-to-do. Thus he underlines...
