In The Modern period of art we deal with Manet's Olympia, Picasso's Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, and Bacon's Triptych are among those artworks used to illustrate how the 20th century changed everything. Emotional truth overcame physical realism. With photography and film, nothing seemed beyond the artists' interest or capabilities.

The Nude In Art with Tim Marlow

2010 1 seasons 4 episodes

Overview

If there is one genre of art that seems to have played a greater role than any other, it is the nude. For at least 30,000 years, humans have represented the naked form in a variety of ways. From the ideal to the real, the Romantic to the Surrealist, there have been almost no end of works devoted to the unclothed human body. This series - presented by writer and broadcaster Tim Marlow - will examine those artworks, the societies that produced them and the artists that made them.
